Tony Clark's resignation only about 9 months from a lockout is not ideal. In a labor dispute, trusted leadership is needed to maintain solidarity.

Having a player in the top position is both positive and negative. It helps being a former player to build trust with the current players. There is 1/

One of my favorite things about the Yakuzaverse is that every city in the game is a near-identical replica of a real world city in Japan , but with a different, similar name.

Except Honolulu. That's just Honolulu.

Removing ball/strike information so that players don't get ball/strike "intel" is one of the stupid ideas I've ever heard. The point of ABS is to get the goddamn balls and strikes right, not to have getting accurate umpiring become an idiotic minigame. This is smoothbrain dumbfuckery.

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.

I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.

WHAT

You have to imagine the Royals didn't even TRY to bring him back if that's all he's got from them. If I were taking a minors deal, I'd prefer to do it with a team I'd been with. HUGE upset.

I'm so desperate for baseball that I went to the batting cages for the first time in years today.

I can still crush a 40 MPH fastball, but the 34 MPH changeup gives me fits.
