Seventy-seven years today, one of baseball's most iconic photos was taken. It features Steve Gromek and Larry Doby embracing after the Cleveland Indians' Game 4 win in the 1948 World Series. But what if the photo had been staged? Here's my newsletter on that: lepplin.substack.com/p/the-stagin...

So great to see members of our #SABR chapter out today in support of @yogiberramuseum.bsky.social. Some played catch, some served as event volunteers, and one even wrote about it for MLB.com!

Woke up in the middle of the night and while trying to fall back asleep, I came up with an idea for an article on Larry Doby that I'm going to get started on after I finish the one on "Peanuts" I'm working on now. Yep, I'm back on my BS.

Happy Founders’ Day, #SABR!

I am grateful for the opportunities SABR offers and the friendships I’ve forged through the organization. It’s great to have friends who understand the level to which I choose to immerse myself in #baseball.

Another North Jersey barrier breaker!
Jen Pawol is set to become the first woman to umpire a game in MLB when she works games this weekend between the Marlins and Braves.

Pawol will work the bases in Saturday’s doubleheader and the plate on Sunday.

The 48-year-old from New Jersey worked spring training games in 2024 and this year.
