A bit off topic but this is like a who’s who of goofy baseball names. Baseball’s missing its quirky first/nick names nowadays

Maybe that’s the idea. Like how misprinted baseball cards are worth a ton later on. I can’t imagine anyone would wear these for real

It’s official, the 2025 Season of Pain has begun.

Absolutely brutal

I’m in the same boat. YES is wrapped up in an extra special sports package too so it’s not just a cable bill, it’s their most expensive all-the-channels-included package. Total waste for me.

I misremembered, it was a DHL commercial! Here you go:

This means we only have one more year of suffering! Hopefully this doesn’t end with more nationally televised games, spread across a gaggle of streaming apps. I just want to hate watch my Yankees with the regular YES crew in peace.

Agreed

Remember that ESPN commercial where he ripped the beard off and handed it to someone else? Classic.

Wild. That’s a crazy amount of money to decline. Looks like he thinks he’s worth top dollar AAV though

CC was already a HoFer in my heart. Didn’t know his stats stacked up so well against other lefty starters already in the hall though. Don’t think we’ll see another 3k strikeout pitcher for a while, if ever.

I think you can find those sorts of stats on https://www.baseball-reference.com

Not a single team won more than 100 games this year! Even with the White Sox in the mix handing out wins to anyone who asked.

Beautiful! How old?

Welcome!

This dude is fast af

This is where it all turns around!

Hell yeah, Higgy!
