    Anyone with a heart can appreciate this moment for Isan Diaz and his family @Raul47Diaz - 70 National League players in history have homered for 1st MLB hit. How many off a Cy Young winner? Thanks to @Starting9 x.com/i/status/11585…

    Congrats to Ruffnecks Alum Will Toffey making MLB debut with the Phillies in Toronto. Will is 3rd 'Neck to make Major Leagues. Unselfish... moved from SS to 3B to be a Ruffneck! Came back to visit after College WS with @VandyBoys Brother John long-time Ruffnecks coach.

    Time to recognize & congratulate a truly unselfish and accomplished Ruffnecks alum. Joe Simourian, U.S. Naval Academy 4 year player. Played through injuries his Sr. year. Now goes on to service, paying it forward. Congrats on a great baseball career, Joe! Thank you!

    Amazing day at Ruffnecks Fall Baseball. The "Rocket" Roger Clemens @rogerclemens drops in to work with 'Necks, demo & talk baseball. 2 hrs sharing insights for pitchers, catchers, hitters. Generous, gracious, and gifted communicator with kids who listen. #20Knowalks

    Recognize the delivery? 59 year old Roger Clemens demonstrates at Ruffnecks 9/25. Talked weight transfer, mechanics "pitch north-south" Then did it. 12-15 pitches 100% K's. Still able to do what he teaches. Same delivery as when he carved MLB hitters. Might still be able to!

    College Admission fraud reveals sad truth. Time to examine what we're doing with pay-to-play youth sports. We are all part of the problem: Prospect lists; Showcases; Recruiting services; Travel ball itself! Anxieties real, but parent engineering is not the answer #EarnIt

    2022 Ruffnecks season ends with ONE swing! Only in baseball! Two outs. Final pitch. Crack of the bat! Noah Jordi hits 3 run HR in bottom of 7th on August 7th to unleash unrestrained joy. A finish to remember.

    Isan Diaz (with 13u in Nashville this July) 1st Ruffnecks alum to Big Leagues! "May your feet always be swift May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift May your heart always be joyful And may your song always be sung May you stay forever young"
