The problem is baseball players walking through corn already peaked in 1987. You want to really impress me? Have Burt Lancaster walk through that cornfield and take an at bat against Aaron Nola.
“Nobody is getting emotional walking through corn. Can we all just be serious for a moment? It’s a baseball game” - my audition tape for sideline reporter, didn’t get the job😔

To expand upon number 2, only one team has won three World Series in a row since free agency began in 1975.

Also related, with the exception of the Twins, those damn Yankee teams of the late 90s prevented Atlanta from winning more than one ring in the 90s.
I was just as bummed out about the deadline as anybody but also:

1) The Dodgers aren't exactly a juggernaut this season. Still great but yeah
2) It's really, really, really hard to win 3 titles in a row in baseball
3) From a Braves perspective, 2021. Just, 2021.

Let's get in the damn thunderdome.
Good morning.

One of these teams is so good they’re ruining baseball to the point of a labor stoppage while the other should apparently fire their incompetent GM into the sun.

"The owners claim they can't afford to pay the players fair market value, so the players should agree to cap THEIR earnings to fix this "problem" that the owners won't PROVE actually is a problem by opening up their books, as there is apparently a divine right for these 30 guys to own their teams?"

Three things: This article is awesome and you will be too if you read it.

It got me thinking about Eric Karros, who I haven't thought about in years and was always a great baseball card score growing up.

Michael Harris II is also a strong bowler and should promote a local Atlanta bowling tourney.

With the World Cup starting this month, I remembered that since jerseys are expensive (regardless of the sport) I made my own the last time around in 2022. Also happy to wear it as a Pride Month shirt. Unfortunately I was limited with my sharpie colors. Trans and queer PoC, I see and support yall.

This right here. The current CBA negotiations aren't the last. Every agreement creates a new starting point for the next round and giving the owners this much just means another labor suppressing arrow in their diamond encrusted quiver when this fight resumes in a few years. It will never stop.
another point in why a cap/floor system is inherently anti-labor is that the cap/floor system gives owners more power/leverage that can lead to much more union busting. if owners are given a system that they can wield more power with, there will be attempts to ensure they get what they want.

"I get to reminisce on how Mark McGwire’s skin-tight pants brought me early appreciation of the male form."

Besides attending a first game, a less appreciated, but equally important live sports core memory is realizing the size of pro athletes. For me, that was seeing Andres Galarraga's calves.

A smug Giants fan interaction brought my fingers to the keyboard.
Being told this was "emotional" and "personal" - so be prepared for feelings and stuff if thats your thing. 🤷‍♀️

The sports team I've been a fan of the longest in my life is the Atlanta Hawks. They always finds a way to keep me grounded that it is entirely unreasonable to expect teams you root for to win a championship in your lifetime.

I've been casually content to let the bulk of MLB info pass by me without much care... but these new Braves city connect jerseys cannot be ignored. They're so good. Fuuuuucckk.

Come for the headline and advanced stats. Stay for the photoshopping. I'm going to spend the afternoon imagining the conversations Mark Canha had at the plate but with Rick Ross's voice.

Oh hey.

@sfgate.com won its first two Society of Professional Journalists awards ever this year, which is great, but what's better is our Senior Photo Editor Charles Russo sitting down to talk about the story behind one of the winners: our photo spread from the A's final game in Oakland.
