Netflix's hottest show is
#TigerKing
It has everything: big cats, mullets, hitmen, leather fringe, amputees, polygamy, labor disputes, mysterious disappearances, and what's that in the corner? Why, it's a cocaine kingpin.

Well, here it is. My last social post for atGoStripers.
Our Twitter grew over 50% in four years, consistently ranked in top five in Minor League Baseball for average engagements and impressions, and was featured on ESPN, Fox Sports, MSN, and had a USA Today article about us.
All this shows is that Mack doesn't sit in diamond club or suite. He's okay with waiting 15 minutes in line for food, pee soaked bathrooms, and will talk to complete strangers who will undoubtedly approach him. Man of the people. Should rename it Mattress Mack Park.

I consider myself a decently smart guy and do well watching regular

Welcome to the Gwinnett Stripers, the team with hot promotions and even hotter wings.
We immediately regretted doing this.
Read about all the 2023 promos at Stripers games this season here:
Doing marketing in Minor League Baseball means sometimes you're the emcee, sometimes you're the mascot, sometimes you're running a camera, sometimes you're tossing t shirts, and sometimes you're chasing a baby goat around the ballpark after it got loose from the petting zoo.
Once I said hi to popular girl from high school at a bar. She claimed that I was lying about going to same school just to talk to her and she had never seen me before. I countered with "We follow each other on Twitter." If you're reading this, and you know who you are, screw you.
I was drunk, dressed as Dr Alan Grant from Jurassic Park, dancing to filthy rap music at a Halloween party, and shoveling goldfish out of carton into my mouth when Altuve hit a walk off to send the

tonight. I might be across the country now but I still know all the words to I'm Hooked. I miss Whataburger.
Today marks 500 days since Minor League Baseball's last game. I just want to say to all the other tarp pulling, t-shirt tossing, chalk laying, ticket scanning, camera working, and suit-wearing current and former MiLB employees out there: I love, respect, and appreciate you.

Steve Jobs, the one with Fassbender, is on HBO. Just a reminder that this movie is unbelievable and it could have been six hours long and I would have gladly sat through every second. Boyle directing Sorkin script through great acting in episodes is riveting.
Listen, in Minor League Baseball, you wear a lot of hats:
- head of marketing
- tarp puller
- racing mascot
- complaint department via social
- camera man
- utility infielder
Two years ago today I caught my first ever home run ball off the bat of Luis Valbuena at Minute Maid. I gave it to a young fan but it was fun living out a childhood dream.
Every Sunday morning this summer, I've walked down to a small Mexican restaurant and gotten migas. Today, they didn't even give me a menu and asked me if I wanted the usual. I'm not sure how to react. My reputation precedes me.
Have you had six thousand people upset at you because the Hooks only got nine strikeouts and you wont give them a free taco from this gas station restaurant? I have.
Hey. Look at us. Who would've thought? Not me.
Seeing my childhood team in the World Series is still surreal especially when they're playing the team that writes my paychecks. Regardless, go Braves.

Georgia is different. Guy at work talking about how he wants to darken his car windows.
Me: Blowing on the endo Game Cube Nintendo. Five percent tint so you can't see up in my window.
Him: What?
Me: It's a rap song called 'Still Tippin'
Him: By who?
Me:
Six, I repeat SIX different people texted me about Whataburger being sold and asked my opinion. Am I the burger whisperer for everyone, the corporate business guy in my friend groups, or do I just have a problem that I eat there too much?
4 years ago today on facebook:
I went to Walgreens and saw a homeless man open a stick of deodorant, put some on, and then put it back on the shelf. I ended up buying him the stick on the condition that he never do that again. I'm helping freshen up this world one hobo at a time
End of my fourth season in Minor League Baseball. I have been keeping track of my steps via my Fitbit for every home game.
Over 64 games, I averaged 20,663 steps a gameday with my high being opening day with 31,294.
My feet hurt.
My reaction when the trivia team who has multiple social media fan pages and advertises themselves as kings of Corpus trivia brings a full team of six to my team's home bar and loses to my team of two.
We got 51 letters to Santa during Christmas in July. Top three requests: dolls, illegible drawings, video games. One person asked for a limited government, one for their cousin to come back from Afghanistan, and one for weight loss tips for their mom.

Popeye's right now is like that girl in a rom com who was ugly but then took off her glasses and let her hair down and now everybody wants her while I'm the dorky guy who loved her before the sandwich when it was just three piece spicy combos with red beans and rice.

Today at the baseball game, there was a blind guy with a cane going up the stairs from his seat. Somebody asked "where you going?" To which he responded "gonna pull the car around." I nearly peed laughing.
Imagine paying $324 million dollars for Gerrit Cole only to lose in the ALDS instead of coasting through regular season with losing record and simply calling up Christian Javier to propel you a round further.
Announcement: After much deliberation, I've decided to change my hypothetical baseball walk up song from DJ Kool's Let Me Clear My Throat to E.S.G.'s Swangin' and Bangin' I felt as though repping my home was important at this time in my life. Thank you for your time.
The final C'mon Man of the year highlighted my company Twitter and a video I took on my phone. Two of the five non-NFL moments came from me.
I'm decently proud.
To the jogger on the trail who saw me throwing up and complimented my commitment this morning, I appreciate your optimism but I'm vomiting because a bug flew into my mouth.
Whataburger employee: "sorry for the inconvenience but we're not selling salads due to CDC investigation into romaine lettuce."
Me: "Look at me. You and I both know I'm not getting a salad."
Lunch at Costco (you know, ballin' on a budget
#chickenbake
) and saw a woman with, no joke, thirty cantaloupes in her cart.
She's the person all those math problems are talking about.
How big is Buc-ee's? It's 12:30 am, there's maybe ten people in there, and they made an announcement because an eight year old boy was lost and couldn't find his mom. IT'S A GAS STATION. Not a Wal-Mart or stadium. BTW, mom was in the leather goods section
