Albert Pujols in manager glasses

Nothing has hammered home that I’m in my mid-to-late 30s quite like seeing Manager Glasses Albert Pujols.

Feel like Teheran has a lot going on lately.

It’d be great to have you back! We’ll connect soon

We 2nd this statement! @justmckinney.bsky.social is amazing!

Classic long sleeve Tee

When Robinson debuted it was an amazing moment for baseball but it also meant the inevitable collapse of the Negro Leagues. Talent was syphoned away - most of the time with zero compensation - at the expense of the black owners

There still isn’t a team with a black majority owner generations later.

Carlos Bernier broke the color barrier for the Pirates in 1953.

He spent just one season in the majors but piled up, over his entire professional career, Bernier racked up 3,500 hits and 900 stolen bases, earning Hall of Fame honors in Puerto Rico and the Pacific Coast League.

New Episode!

Honus Wagner was born on this date in 1874.

In his honour, I present this photo of him at Labatt Park in London, Ont., for a Pittsburgh Pirates exhibition game on Aug. 29, 1941.

The photo was uncovered from the London Free Press archives by Stephen Harding and David Mendham.

Fans called him "the Black Lou Gehrig," Buck Leonard combined elite production with rare loyalty, dominating his era and earning a spot in Cooperstown.

Lies! I’m still rehabbing emotionally from game 7

For those who don’t know, the ballclub had the Maple Leafs nickname for over a quarter century before Conn Smythe appropriated it for his hockey team.

Whoa, what’s happening here? The 1937 Salisbury Indians of the Eastern Shore League went 59–37, but their pitchers’ records add up to 77–16?

Hell of a story, this one…

Publication day for Battlefields: The Chicago White Sox and the Great War. My thanks to @bloomsburyacademic.bsky.social and all who advised and encouraged me along the way.

I never know what this type of sentence is even supposed to mean.

Which city would be a bad fit for Alex Bregman’s style of play? What does that even mean?

Frenchy! (If you asked him he was not French but Basque)

What’s interesting to me is there’s is far more data about Martín Dihigo outside of the United States than there is inside. He really was as magnificent as they say. Don’t make me choose between Bullet Rogan, Lázaro Salazar, and El Maestro… they are all perfect. 😍

Read this and then listen to our latest Episode on Dave Brown who pitched in the inaugural NNL with what could have been the best rotation in NNL history!

(He also may have killed someone a few years later and changed his name to keep playing baseball)

100 years ago this guy would be saying the exact same thing but he would be upset about mass immigration of Irish and Italians.

P.S. Ed’s had a baby!
