12-26 is the baseball solstice. Halfway between the end of the WS and spring training opening day. Cheers!

so we’re only counting players, not coaches (Schneids)

the honkbal pitcher made a worp and the honkbal batter used his knuppel to hit the ball before it landed in the catcher’s hand-shoe

gonna lose your shit when you learn:
throw = worp
bat = knuppel
glove = handschoen (lit. ‘hand-shoe)

sorry guys, i feel like this is one of the things that if i’d told you, you wouldn’t have believed it.

yes, this must be why Schneider was always putting France over Vladdy during late innings of each World Series game… for the defensive upside 👀
