Sorry to be self-indulgent, but I just re-read a couple of things... • The Field of Dreams story was cathartic (theathletic.com/3499705/2022/0…) • And it reminded me of this story because of the stories theathletic.com/1737321/2020/0…

In 1954, my dad would ride his bike by the store to look at this Gus Bell MacGregor glove. He saved up $9 from his paper route until he could buy it. Today his son talked with Gus Bell's son and grandson about baseball. theathletic.com/812250/2019/02…

Trevor Bauer said the Cubs usually give up talking when they are down, but kept at it tonight. "iT was impressive that you can chirp at someone after they shoved it up your ass for 7 2/3 innings."

Tony Kemp was just DFA'd for Jackson Holliday. This is his response. There's a reason Kemp is respected across baseball. This is pretty freaking cool, if you ask me.

In the fall of 2010, our college had a series against the Longhorns for a 3 game set. Our hitting coach at the time was Josh Holliday and his brother, Matt, brought his kid to our early practice. I remember watching his son @J_Holliday7 with a sweet lefty swing. Go get em’ kid!

Michael Diddle of Portsmouth, Ohio, caught the ball from TJ Friedl’s first MLB hit, a home run. Dodgers RF watched the ball, asked for it and told Diddle “I got you.” In the bottom of the 7th, Betts came back with a signed bat

Votto on his streak: "I'm a bit of a StatCast nerd and it started with a .090 expected batting average home run on a 98-mph weak fly ball that carried into the first couple of rows into Cincinnati. And it ended on a 109, 110-mph line drive off the wall and that's baseball."

Sonny Gray stripped naked after the 4th inning and changed everything but his cleats to "reset and start over". He retired the next 9 in order after that

Joey Votto: "this is not a sell, my contract is guaranteed... but truly, the television doesn’t do it justice. Watching these guys live is bigger, faster, dirtier – the game is fast but these guys are faster. This is the most enjoyable version of baseball I think I’ve ever seen.

I asked Joey Votto about @JerrySeinfeld and David Letterman trading Joey Votto stories on Letterman's @netflix show. His response (and I'm not kidding, this is really what he said, he is likely kidding, though):
