To anyone who has tried to reach me via DM, I haven’t activated DMs since the update and don’t plan to. Apologies, it’s just so much more peaceful this way!
Ivan Rodriguez was called up to the big leagues ON HIS WEDDING DAY, so he and his wife got married on his AA field, flew to Chicago, and Pudge threw out 2 runners in his MLB debut (1991)
The Padres used to play the Mission Impossible theme song when the opposing team brought in a new pitcher.
Whenever that happened, Doug Bochtler would steal a drink from a fan near the bullpen. Amazing.
In 1995 Ichiro visited the US to see what it was like before coming to MLB. He wanted to meet two people while he was there: Ken Griffey Jr. and Michael Jordan. Here he is, incredibly starstruck, meeting MJ.
