So you take a pitch...now you're 3-1. Then the pitcher comes back with a great setup pitch...3-2. Now you're ready to groundout into a double play. Everyone should hit 3-0. Grand Slams are a huge stat. @tatis_jr

Fernando Tatis Jr. smacked a grand slam on a 3-0 count with a big lead, leading to criticism from both managers. What do you think about this unwritten rule in baseball? 🎥 @MLB #PadresTwitter

We may have taken the World Series in 1975 but Luis Tiant shut us out in Game 1 and threw another complete game victory in Game 4. He meant so much to the Red Sox organization, baseball certainly lost another icon. My condolences to his family and the Boston fans.

Congrats to Yadier Molina on passing me on the All-Time Innings Caught list, soon to be games. Crazy to be reminded it was 14,493 innings behind the plate. No wonder I had my hips replaced.

You only need to be with Ueck for a minute to feel the charisma and deep seated pleasure he has for life and baseball. We worked together on commercials and talked on a monthly basis for the last two decades. Few people can make you laugh out loud. He loved Milwaukee @Brewers

I can’t believe it’s been 56 years since this card came out…who wants a FREE copy of my 1968 Topps rookie card? To enter, just like this tweet and follow @Topps.

I was called down to see some prospects the @Reds might draft. There was this kid from Canada taking batting practice who was born to hit. I said if it were me, I'm taking him first Congrats on a tremendous career @JoeyVotto! Passionate about the game, totally committed hitting

A phenomenal hitter! Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with 46 home runs. Passes me for HRs age 22 & younger, ties DiMaggio, 1 away from Mathews. This is special. 🇩🇴💪🏼⚾️🇨🇦 #bluejays #mlb

Willie made me feel like a true professional. He came to my locker at the 1968 All Star Game to say “hey, you should have been the starting Catcher.” I didn’t need to get in the game. He made my dream! One of my favorite people of all time!
