When I was 10, I saw Evan Longoria play in the minors. He hit a homer that is one of the longest I’ve ever seen hit (still to this day) and is one of my first real baseball memories.
I got to tell him that story today.
@JomboyMedia
is cool place to work.
Fired up to share that I’ll be joining the team at

To work with
@Jomboy_
,
@TalkinJake
and all the great people there, it feels like joining the ‘98 Yankees.
I believe Jomboy Media is the next great sports media company. And I can’t wait to be along for the ride.
These photos were taken 18 years ago on my first ever trip to Yankee Stadium.
Today, I am so excited to announce that I have accepted a Media Relations position with the New York Yankees.
Thank you to the family, friends, and mentors who have helped me reach this position!
Want to get in front of this one, we recorded Compound last night, so there won’t be any discussion of the Counsell move or ZS59’s arrival in the big Apple.
Also, we did Saturday screen times and I asked not to be too harshly judged for my number, certainly the highest ever.
Stayed at the

office late. Was gonna leave in the 3rd inning. Didn’t want to jinx it.
First no hitter I’ve seen a Yankee throw!
Here’s a victory ICE for the man with ICE in his veins!!
I’m sorry Cubs fans, this loss is on me.
I’m self imposing a suspension of myself from going to Wrigley Field for the rest of the season.
See you in 2025 Wrigley.
My father has been a North Carolina basketball fan since 1964, when he went to his cousin’s house and saw the Carolina blue jerseys on a color TV for the first time.
Last night, after 58 years of waiting, he finally made it to the Dean Dome for his first game.
We’ve had some pretty awesome guests on Compound but getting perhaps the greatest living Cub, on stage, in Wrigleyville, just days before he’s immortalized forever in statue?
This is special.
If you are in the Chicagoland area, we’d love to see you next week!
Hall of Famer.

Ryne Sandberg is going to be at

on June 20th as our final guest for Compound Live!
Will you be there?

Lucky to have an incredible seats tonight, but even luckier to witness IH8 predict a first pitch Christopher Morel HR tonight after we finished recording.

On the Warehouse Games channel this year, we published 147 videos.
We created, planned & executed 5 Major Tournaments.
Produced 75 full game productions.
Garnered over 5 Million views across the channel.
And we are just getting started.
Thank you for watching and supporting!
Since 2014, 2 football section champs, 1 basketball section champ, 4 straight lacrosse section champs, 1 baseball section champ, countless state playoff wins and the first two state titles in Pleasantville history.
Best senior class in school history. And it's not even close.
I got to tell future HOFer Joey Votto that his teammate Scott Rolen had made the Hall of Fame and it’s maybe the 4th best part of this interview.
Votto is a rare breed; thoughtful, analytical, observant. Incredible episode coming tomorrow.
I just woke up but Ian just became tied for the all-time lead in homers in the United Kingdom (2) and Tauchman become the first player to play in England twice (plus he’s got a run and RBI).
Today is gonna be a good day. I feel it.
Picked quite a week to miss my 1st episode of Compound since I joined.
So happy for Ian, I know how hard he has grinded to earn this moment. No one can take the tag “all star outfielder” away from him
(Here in Montreal, where my hotel lobby has lights, unlike others last week!)
We do have some fun conversation about Ian’s second gold glove win and the episode will be available on all podcast platforms when you wake up tomorrow, so we hope you check it out (and skip the screen time section)
Has the potential to be one of the best nights of my life.
So thankful to work at a place like
@JomboyMedia
, and (for once) I’ll be very excited to do “Tom’s Weekly Yanks Check In” on Tuesday’s show.
Also have to thank my wonderful girlfriend Liz for the greatest seats I’ve ever sat in. A once in a lifetime kind of experience. So lucky to be in her life.
Good time to break my twitter silence to announce that I have joined the Athletic Communications team at Manhattan College and
#JasperNation
! I look forward to telling stories across video and written mediums, as well as game broadcasts. Let’s go Jaspers! 🍀☘️🍀
If you’ve ever worked or played in MiLB, or are just a fan of minor league baseball, I think you will like this episode.
I got pretty fired up about MLB continuing to undercut the minors at every turn. MiLB is great for the game & the players are just asking for the bare minimum
🚨NEW EPISODE 🚨
We Got FIRED UP!
Great discussion this week, some fun golf talk on the top and then the boys discuss labor negotiations, which leads to a larger conversation about how baseball is hurting the game by not properly funding the minors!
My family is on vacation in Memphis and my mom wanted us to go to mass. After dinner she googled the nearest Church, which had a mass at 7.
We showed up and the entire mass was in Spanish.
And we stayed for all 80 minutes, not understanding a single word.
Merry Christmas!
FINAL: Pleasantville 28, Chenango Forks 14. Panthers win first Class B state football title. Jack Howe, Charlie McPhee on offense. Salzarulo, Minerva, Daniele, Egan, Melillo, etc on defense.
Reasons why I love minor league baseball and sports in general: This video of
@SIYanks
’ Alex Junior and Muere Rodriguez making a few young fans’ night.
The Mayor of Palatine gets another campaign season in the friendly confines.
Super cool story continues for the Cubs.
2.4 BWar, 107 WRC+, .363 OBP in 108 games last year, we will see if we have another summer of Tauchman this year…
82% of extra innings games were done by the end of the 12th under the old rules. More than half were done after the 10th.
Instead we have this complete nonsense. It’s mind boggling. Wins, losses, playoff positions, all being affected by this.
Who likes this? Who is this for?
@11Yanks
Dude has the worst agent on the planet, has balled out every time he’s played anywhere, including helping getting Luton to the prem last year, but keeps ending up in horrible situations.
Needs to go somewhere he’s the clear number one, even if that’s MLS at this point.
I spent the past few weeks putting this project together. I'm really proud of the resulting product, which tells the 50+ year history of Jasper Basketball.
The 2020-21 Manhattan Basketball Intro Video ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I can’t believe we are deciding crucial September games and possibly playoff spots using the stupid Manfred rule runner.
Fuck that little league ass nonsense rule.
Please…please someone tell David Ross that Tauchman has a higher career avg against lefties than he does against righties before the season is over.
So sad that apparently he doesn’t know and doesn’t have access to baseball-reference or the internet 😔
I’m thinking we line up, IH8 in left (check the gold patch), PCA can have the night off, I’ll play center and then Tauchman in right.
I’ll let Craig decide where I go in the batting order.

@ScottEffross
Honestly, no excuse. I apologize to Scott, to the Yankees and to the fans of the Compound, I let you all down and for that I am sorry.
(He did wear 57 on the Cubs at least)
Just took my last final and realized after 17 years of schooling and thousands and thousands of tests, there are no tests left.
I'm done. Forever.
Can't help but feeling like this.
