Fred Norman pitched 16 years in the MLB, won 104 games and was a member of 2 World Series championship teams. Here he is on his 1970 Ovenca Venezualan Winter League card, looking rather badass.
This whole sequence of plays is beyond embarrassing. No umpire should be acting this way. Does he go after a white player and manager in this way? Absolutely doubt it.
K a s s i e D e e@kassiedee.bsky.social · 23h agoI hope every player in the MLB comes out this week wearing their hats the same as this rookie. I hope the fans do it too. That umpire is a POS. We know what this was about.
Thank you to @metsuniverse.bsky.social for these cool additions to my Vikings pc. Plus SFGiants pitcher Blade Tidwell 😊.
Baseball thing of the day 9/6/26 Thank you @if7ate9.bsky.social for this groovy card via @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social’s Sunday thread!
EPIC SEASON FOR JETER 👏 Jeter Ybarra has set the B’s single-season record for RBI (107) and home runs (33) this year
The Pro Football HOF eliminating the "Seniors" category and merging all voting into one ballot is almost guaranteed to lead to recency bias being the norm. Honestly, a disappointing development.
After 13 seasons in the minors, including 3 in the Minnesota Twins farm system, Drew Maggi got called up by the Pittsburgh Pirates at the age of 34. He played in 3 games, collecting 2 hits in 6 at bats. Since then, he's spent parts of the last 3 seasons with the independent Staten Island FerryHawks.
Today’s auto. Eloy Jimenez. 5-tool prospect signed w/Cubs for $2.8m; traded crosstown; most expensive extension ever given to player before making MLB debut ($75m); rookie season culminated w/Silver Slugger. Injuries hampered what could’ve been a solid career. Recently released by Jays. #cardsky
Next to nothing has gone right for the #SFGiants this season, but Rafael Devers now has 33 homers and 88 RBIs.
Pablo Torre is doing the job that so many of the big named media folks won't do because the financial incentives are good enough for them to just stick to "safe sports journalism." Or even worse, to just make noise for the sake of ratings.
Aaron Gleeman@aarongleeman.bsky.social · 3d agoPablo Torre can obviously fight his own battles, but I can't get over how many prominent people in media downplayed, refuted, and even mocked his Clippers reporting and are now just silent on the whole thing. Massive outlets ran cover for the Clippers and now just ... move on.
The Gophers nearly annual "OMG, they're gonna be awesome!" first game. One of these years, it might end up being real. Maybe this is the year. (Signed: A delusional MN sports fan)
RedditCFB@redditcfb.com · 3d agoGophers' WR Javon Tracy has become the first player in program history to return 2 punts for TDs. Minnesota now up 42-7 on EIU, 13:26 3Q
Wishing a happy 102nd birthday to Bill Greason, the last surviving player from the Negro Leagues’ major-league period
Willie Norwood spent 4 seasons with the #MNTwins before finishing his professional career in the Mexican League. He won the 1981 Mexican League batting title with a .365 average for Broncos de Reynosa.
🇨🇺 Cuban infielder Héctor Rodríguez, the starting 3B for the 1952 Chicago White Sox, died 23 years ago today. The all-time hit leader in the pre-revolutionary Cuban professional league (1,237), he is also in the 4,000 professional hit club.
A defensive mainstay at shortstop for the Padres in the early to mid 1970s, Enzo Hernandez also played 12 seasons in the Venezuelan Professional League. While in the MLB, he stole 129 bases, with a success rate of 80%.
Wolves fans will remember the Joe Smith debacle, which ended in a similar way.
Shams Charania Tweets@shamsbot.bsky.social · 4d agoPer NBA: The Clippers shall forfeit five first-round draft picks, one in each of the 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, and 2033 NBA Drafts. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is suspended from all league and team activities for one year for knowingly seeking to help Mr. Leonard obtain off-court income
Great mailday from @anthonyscorona.bsky.social and @kujhawk90.bsky.social via @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social sunday thread. #cardsky The Tommy John Frankenstein Career run moves ahead and rookies of a future Blue Jay. (Leaning Suzuki over Kwan now because of Bateman)
A decade before he joined the #MNTwins, elite bench bench player Jim Dwyer had one of the more high level Topps airbrush cards of the 1970s. One of baseball's all time pinch hitters, Dwyer hit a home run in his first World Series at bat in 1983 for the WS Champion Baltimore Orioles.
Twins blew out the Tigers for their third straight win. Kody Clemens, Royce Lewis, and Ryan Jeffers homered as the lineup scored 15 runs, their second-most of the season. Connor Prielipp threw five shutout innings. Twins improve to 67-72 and can sweep the Tigers tomorrow night.
This man just wanted the world to be free while he scored a lot of points on the basketball court.
Stan Kroenke treating sports franchises like they're Pokemon cards. Gotta catch 'em all.
@4miles2roll.bsky.social Thank you for Clemente card, bonus Star Wars and Mets cards. Nice addition to Clemente mini PC. And great timing on Star Wars - wife is huge fan and it’s her birthday in a few days! 😉🎉 And thanks to giveaway host @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social
