I can’t imagine what Hank Aaron went through in his lifetime. He had every right to be angry or militant.....but never was! He spread his grace on everything and every one he came in contact with. Epitome of class and integrity. RIP Henry Aaron! #HammerinHank

I wanna ask all HOF voters one question….if Andruw Jones plays for the New York Yankees for 15 yrs with 10 GGs, 400Hrs, 1300 rbis…is he a HOFer? Lemme answer for you….first ballot! Time to have a conversation about HOFers chiming in. 75 living members can make sure it’s right!

And that’s when u will have 12 guys on the team that are soft as pillows! Enjoy ur participation award. If u don’t hustle, u should get ur ass chewed on. I applaud coach Izzo. Always have!
I’ll be happy when this type of coaching finally goes extinct as this generation of coaches retire and fade away.

Spent quite a bit of time watching college baseball this weekend. I will only watch a select few teams from here on out. Reason? They have coaches that respect the game and their opponents and demand the same of their players. Any team that doesn’t wear the uni correctly, taunts the other team, and has a coach that condones this behavior, is a disgrace to the game. Big fan of coach Schnall at Coastal Carolina! Him and his team represent what college baseball should be like. Well done, sir! U stand for proper behavior.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Ozzy Osbourne today. I feel Ozzy and I will forever be linked due to his song, ‘Crazy Train’! Quick story…..Facing the Mets at home….I walk to the plate and say ‘Hey Mike (Piazza), how’s it going?’ He says, ‘I’m doing fine Larry, but I hate this fu**ing song!’ I said ‘ Well, get ready cuz ur gonna hear about 5 times today!’ Pretty funny ……Rest easy Ozzy!

Wanna take this opp to congratulate the Mets on advancing. But more importantly, shout out to Francisco Lindor! Not only an MVP type season and series clinching grand slam, but the grace and class upon doing so was refreshing. Been a big fan from afar for a long time. Big time player!

Watched 3 Milton football coaches make complete asses of themselves this morning. They threw visors, play sheets and I even heard a couple of GDs. One went nose to nose with an official. Did I mention they’re coaching 6-7 yr olds? Clean it up! U embarrassed yourselves mightily.

Hi….my name is Chipper Jones. I played in NY 12-15 times every yr for 20 yrs and multiple times in the postseason. AT NO TIME in 2 decades was my family EVER allowed to go to a game in NY. What do u expect to happen? Is it right? No! But when u are public enemy #1….expect to be treated harshly. No way that I expose my wife or kids to that. It’s unfair, but it’s reality in NY!
PS…..in response to the NY crowd…..epic performance by Euro team!
Apparently someone in the crowd threw a drink at Rory & his wife after the match today.
In the video Rory appears to be wiping her hat off & asking if she’s okay, then moves further away from the USA fans.
Another tough look for the fans today if true.

Tez Johnson is my new favorite player in college football! I love this kid and respect him so much. Kudos to the Nix family as well. I hope they both have wonderful NFL careers. I am a fan!
Tez Johnson waited for Will Howard to be done with his interview so he could congratulate him on the win 👏

So by this way of thinking, Jacob deGrom should get drilled cuz he’s the hottest pitcher on the planet? NO! I enjoy watching him pitch and I enjoy watching RAJ play the game. I’m old school just like this broadcaster, but these comments are waaay off base!

People in the comments are confused between ‘most talented’ and ‘best player’. There is no disputing who the best player is. But Acuna has stuff in his tool belt that NO ONE has possessed.

May wanna check those gold gloves and stolen base numbers on Bonds…..he was a bit more than ‘just’ a hitter. I hear where ur coming from on Ohtani, but he doesn’t pitch enough and doesn’t play a position on D to be in the convo yet IMO.
I think Barry Bonds is the greatest hitter of all time. Hands down. All around player? Pitching+hitting. Tough to not say Shohei for me

cause certain teams to HAVE to sell off players. Been done this way for years. His team (LAD) traded for/or signed 3 eventual/potential HOFers & didn’t get it done. But bc it paid off for the Braves, now it’s a problem? Dude, stay in your lane. No one cares what you think. #smh

Jacob deGrom should be the NL Cy Young winner! He is the best pitcher in the National League this yr. Scherzer and Nola have had outstanding yrs on better teams, but JDG has dominated all yr with or without run support.

Half way through reading this I said, ‘James Woods got hacked’. Then…..NOPE….thats him! HOF post
We’ve all made jokes at Jimmy Kimmel’s expense. But Mr. Kimmel is a fellow artist, and I am in fact heartbroken to see the way he has been treated. I believe he is, in his heart of hearts, a good and decent fellow, devoid of malice and hate.
Just kidding, Jimbo. Eat shit.

Lotta speculation on who i was speaking of in my post last night. So let’s get it outta the way. I was disappointed in how UF coach Sully handled the situation of the time change in the CC region. I felt it could have been addressed differently. As I sat with my UGA alum friend, watching the Dawgs/Okla st, the uniforms were a mess, taunting, bat flipping, shit talking was above and beyond normal. My friend who played baseball at UGA agreed. And an FSU pitcher tells a Miss St. hitter to ‘sit the f—k down, u inbred bitch’. I believe these to be excessive and unsportsmanlike. I am from Florida, I am a Gator at heart. I have a ton of respect for FSU…..played against Link Jarrett….and UGA has become my second favorite because of all of my relationships. This is not personal in any way, shape or form.
Im hearing of other instances as well, but these are the ones that i witnessed. Whenever coaches have to issue apologies, I know Im not the only one who feels this way. Want to wish the best of luck to the rest of the teams in the tournament. Have fun with ur teammates, respect ur opponent and respect the game!

I knew I liked him
Someone asked #Braves newcomer Shane Greene what his role would be. He didn’t hesitate with his reply: “I’ll be out there in the ninth.”
And yes, he exudes swagger. Grew up a Braves fan in Central Florida, favorite player: “Chipper Jones.”

I do not agree with this quote on multiple levels
If you're 10 years old and your coach says get on top of the ball, tell him no.
In the big leagues these things that they call ground balls are outs. They don't pay you for ground balls, they pay you for doubles and for homers. -Josh Donaldson

Not that I’m torn up about it, but isn’t this illegal??? This was the beginning of a 6 run rally that literally decided a playoff game. I can understand the 2nd base ump not making a call bcuz of angle, but that fella in all black standing next to 1st base, had a perfect view!
