This is what the love of the game looks like.
For a few seconds, the score didn’t matter. The rivalry didn’t matter. Winning and losing didn’t matter. One player saw another player down and his first instinct was to make sure he was okay.
That’s the beauty of sports. We compete as hard as we can, but at the end of the day we’re all part of the same game. The best athletes understand that character matters just as much as talent.
Moments like this are a reminder that the plays people remember most aren’t always the ones that make the highlight reel. Sometimes they’re the ones that show who you are when nobody expects it.
Respect is undefeated. ⚾❤️

I hope you enjoy it.
See it my way, or don’t.
Paul Skenes was driving down Perry Highway in Wexford just past seven o’clock Monday night when the Pirates superstar pitcher made a pit stop. It was a Little League field.
Skenes signed autographs for over two hours, connecting with Pittsburgh's next generation.

It's a shame D2 baseball is ruined by Tampa. Don't get me wrong, Urso and those boys are great at what they do. And everything is within the rules. However, it still sucks for the game. I don't know the solution, but there's gotta be a better way.
And @WCUAthletics are the first team to punch their ticket to Cary. I believe they are now 36-1 when scoring six runs or more. A force to be reckoned with. #d2baseball
BASE: Atlantic Regional Champions again! West Chester returns to the Division II National Finals for the first time since 2022 with a 9-2 victory over Millersville!
Anytime, anywhere! West Chester baseball wins the Atlantic Regional Championship with a 9-2 victory over Millersville for the first time since 2022 and the sixth time overall!
The worst take on the internet today.
Columbus is a small-market cash cow & die hard fanbase.
Either he hates #CBJ or doesn’t know puck at all. Probably both…
