Jimi died on this date, 51 years ago. Let the games begin!

That ball was crushed by RM.

Some weird Nike 7 team promotional thing. I posted an article last night.

Ok, never mind, I see it’s regarding the marathon. But those uniforms are hideous.

I feel like I’m at a softball game or something.

That was quite the cookie the pitcher offered him up and Ryan didn't miss it.

[Just Regular]

Well the four credible big leaguers did nicely that inning.

Thanks. Of you dig down, you can see the colors were derived from the color of the finish line at the marathon.

Yeah, plenty of guys get the cookie and don’t do that with it. He more and more punishes fat pitches.

I was wondering about that. They're pretty hideous. Like mimicking Oakland if you're color blind...
