It was like the baseball gods were showing off just for him, in honor of his first day of big league baseball. And surely the baseball gods were smiling that day, because the next batter was Larry Brown, and he was a scrawny, scrappy 23-year-old kid who’d never hit a big league home run. And yet he stepped to the plate and became just the second player in baseball history to connect and give his team four consecutive home runs. ↗

I don't play fantasy baseball anymore now because it's too much work, and I feel like I have to hold myself up to such a high standard. I'm pretty serious about my fantasy football, though. ↗

I was looking for something like baseball, where there's a lot of data and the competition was pretty low. That's when I discovered politics. ↗

I found myself in a race with Mother Nature to play as much baseball as I could before she forced me to stop. ↗
