Knicks coach Mike Brown belting “Who Let The Dogs Out?” on the championship podium. He’s clearly inspired by the 2000 NL Champion Mets.

He’s been a Mudcat and a Mission, a Toro and a Timber, a SeaWolf, a SkySock and a Sound — and now he’s nearing the all-time wins record. One of my favorite stories ever, on the great Rick Sweet, unlocked and free for all: nytimes.com/athletic/7344721… via @NYTimes

It's my weekly dose of Weird & Wild
Are 2500 hits the new 3,000? Freddie Freeman made us take a look nytimes.com/athletic/7351362…
Plus Vegas madness, 2 hits in 2 cities in 1 day, Singer vs Song, KC in KC, upside-down Giants, heaviest leadoff duo ever? & more

How Jordan Walker accomplished his "mission" to break out as a star for the Cardinals -- plus a Yamamoto/Maddux connection, a salute to the White Sox pitcher who took the Knicks all the way, Ferris at 40, and more Sliders!

This piece is amazing - a @TylerKepner classic.
The art of great story telling isn't just finding that guy with cool tales to tell.
It's asking all the right questions that set him up to tell them.
Loved this, from first word to last.

In 1987, the manager of the Seattle Mariners’ Bellingham club in the Northwest League was Rick Sweet. One of his players was Ken Griffey Jr., now in the @baseballhall. And Sweet? Still managing just fine, per @TylerKepner in this GREAT read @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/7344721…

It’s not just the Roger Craig story or the fabulous face furniture. @TylerKepner nails it with a great look at a minor league legend.

A couple changes within baseball have led to an uptick of — how do I put this delicately — foul balls to catchers' nether regions.
"It takes your soul with it."
"You have to be a tough motherfucker."

Jack has always been a great teammate, but you really feel it when you're the pitcher who gives up a blast to the deep LF corner that he races down to save the game :-)

Shoutout to the Bronx Beat for a thrilling 9-8 win over the Sox Scribes in today's media game! Tons of contributions all around, but @JackCurryYES takes home MVP honors for a game-saving catch in LF!
Not sure who let @MaxTGoodman back on the field, but I guess it was good to see him, too.

Cleveland's Jose Ramirez is having some kind of series in the Bronx. Three doubles last night, a single, a steal and a homer tonight. What a player. Such a joy to watch.
