Norm and I had a lot of time on our hands! We liked to explore all the stadiums we played. We may or may not have picked the lock to get out on the light standard at old riverfront! 🤫 The view was worth it!

Had to try this on for my 9 year old, then her Mom tells her The Reds made this uni just a few years ago. Opening Day 25 years too late! Reality hurts. Stay safe everyone Baseball for real will be back soon!!!

Just can’t believe another member of MLB Royalty passing away. 5th HOFer in 6 weeks. 5 Tool player, great to young players like myself, always teaching. Great announcer as well. Nothing Little about Joe Leonard Morgan. RIP 🙏for his family and friends.
To hear The MLB owners say it’s not a profitable business and The Players aren’t negotiating in good faith, then it leaks you have a new billion dollar TV postseason deal starting in 2021, I have to ask,do you even like Baseball? Just pay them and start the season. Please

, winning 8-5, and scoring 25 runs in the 3-game series at Wrigley.
They are 24-29, just 4 games out of 1st place in the NL Central.
A year ago, they started off 3-22, lost 100 games and finished 31 games out of first place.
If you don’t ban some of these Cheaters after Operation “Codebreaker” you are a complete joke. Yes I mean you Rob Manfred. How do some of these punks still work for the Astros?
Rob Manfred has the power to fix this. The Country needs Baseball and Baseball needs The Country. Be a leader and talk to the players like partners in the business. It’s time to grow the game together!
MLB saying it will cancel games is stupid, you can agree on a deal by this weekend and still start the season on time. Manfred thinks fans are stupid, you are not, it’s your game! Pitch clocks and shifts, what a joke. MLB needs better leadership
The fact that the same clowns who said 1,200 dollars to Americans is crumbs are now saying 600 dollars is great, while giving billions away to other countries shows how much change needs to happen with our Government. Let’s start with term limits.

Who won the WS in 1994? Answer: Nobody, Bud cancelled it due to the strike. The game survived. Stop acting like vacating The 2017 WS will kill MLB. Make some hard choices so we can move on. That’s what a Commisioner does!
Went to a pitching clinic in my youth and met The Amazing Tom Seaver, years later on a flight,sat next to him on the way to the HOF. Talking pitching and wine, greatest couple of hours of my life. RIP Tom Terrific. 🙏💔
There people who think they are reinventing MLB. I played with the best, Benito, Tony Pena Pudge. they did splits and gunned down guys at 2nd base from their knees. But when a guy is on third top priority is keeping the ball in front.
HOF Willie Mays told me, when he got hit, he stole 2nd,3rd, and tried to steal home! That’s B.B. Maybe rethink all that Bat Flip, Launch Angle, Exit Velocity Talk. And Yes I agree you don’t just Drill Hitters, but pitching inside keeps hitters Honest. MLB is not F.n Tee Ball
People just don’t get Baseball, The Game doesn’t need to be fixed, only the people who think it does, they need to go. Start promoting the game in a positive way would really help!!!Spend a billion dollars on Urban Academies!

in Reds history, Rob Dibble pitched an immaculate inning, striking out the side on nine pitches in the eighth of the Reds’ 6-2 victory over the Padres at Riverfront Stadium.

When my Father Walt was dying of Leukemia 23 years ago all I wanted him to know was how lucky I was to be his son, how much I would miss him and how much I loved him. Who he was voting for didn’t mean shit.
Watching Yanks, base hit to LF, Verdugo with weak throw home misses cut off, Batter , Lowe easily goes to 2nd. Lowe scores later. Just easy coaching points that I guess today’s players don’t need! But his chains 👀 cool!
Stop saying it was a bad week for Baseball. Weak people took shortcuts to gain an unfair advantage and changed the outcomes of MLB games. Most players and coaches work their asses off to achieve victory in clean contest.

I was privileged to be 1 of less then 20k MLB players. Please stop trying to fix something that isn’t broken. 60 years ago not many NBA players dunked. Just because almost everyone can dunk now, should we raise the basket to 11 feet?
MLB had paid minor league players as seasonal employees, Congress passed The Save America’s Pastime Act in 2018! H.R. 5580, it made them exempt from getting minimum wage. Rob Manfred is a total hypocrite.
The Astros players and coaches knowingly cheated to win a WS in 2017. The MLBPA and Rob Manfred are now protecting them like they were the victims. Wake the Hell up!

outfielder Paul O'Neill makes an all-time classic play when he kicks the baseball back to first base! (1989) Happy 57th Birthday Paul!
