I was seven in '76 and I've been a Phillies lifer ever since. Levittown kid, NJ teen, PNW since 1997. #StratOMatic fanatic, Shrine of the Eternals voter, former right fielder.
Stopping by to visit Jamie Moyer's Mariners Hall of Fame plaque.
#HBD Julio Franco, 68 today. I often imagine what it would have been like if the Phillies had kept him and Sandberg and had that double play combo throughout the 80s and 90s.
The real GOAT was born in Philadelphia 90 years ago today.

It's Graig Nettles' birthday today, and I was shocked to learn that he doesn't have a plaque in Monument Park. How is that possible, #Yankees fans?

I wish I knew the story behind this photo. Boone, Bowa and Manny Trillo are all avoiding eye contact while Dallas laughs and laughs. I imagine him chewing out the pitcher who just got pulled from the game and being quite satisfied with himself while everyone else just feels awkward.

@thesmallhallpod.bsky.social The next time you do one of those episodes where you consider non-Hall of Famers, I'd love to hear what you guys make of Harry Stovey.

EVERY SINGLE GAME is blacked out on MLB TV today. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Fck MLB, fck Rob Manfred, and fck NBC/Peacock. Bastards.

I've been doing a deep dive on 19th century baseball, especially the 1880s, including the American Association. What are some online resources (articles, websites, videos) that you can recommend. Obviously, I've been reading a lot on the SABR Biography Project pages, what else is out there?
What is the benefit/appeal of this phased All-Star voting? Why not just let it run until its conclusion and have one set of results?
Words and phrases that should be banned for use by baseball commentators. A thread. Vibes Dad Strength Oppo Taco More to come,...

Phillies announcers talk about Nap Lajoie like he's some obscure guy and have never head of the Players League.
