Incredible stat. Either Connie Mack managed the A’s or Vin Scully broadcast the Dodgers every @MLB season for the last 116 years (H/T @espn)

[Guest]

I think Vin Scully is wonderful - but I still prefer Ernie.

Braves swept the Mets. Sorry Steve, where ever you are.

Vin Scully's final home game. Game tying homer in the 9th, walk off division clinching homer in the 10th.

Sitting at home with my dogs, watching Giants/Dodgers on MLB network with my pops and enjoying Vin for probably the last time. Life's good

I've got a feeling the Giants are going to make a run

Former Angels great Rod Carew set for heart transplant

Hall of Famer Rod Carew, who suffered a major heart attack in September 2015, is set to undergo a heart transplant on Thursday. Carew was also to receive a kidney transplant.

Good luck, Rod.

Vin Scully with the call.

Texas Man Enters Gum Company's Contest 60 Years Late, Wins Prize

Officials at Bazooka Candy Brands—which is part of The Topps Company, Inc., an American sports company—soon received Day’s submission. After noting he’d answered the trivia questions correctly, the corporation decided to make good on their promise: The baseball fan soon received a phone call informing him he’d won the competition. Along with the baseball glove, Day also received t-shirts, a Bazooka Joe-themed pillow, and—you guessed it—plenty of bubble gum.

local interest.

Angels' Matt Shoemaker feels good as he comes back from line drive to the head and brain surgery

[Guest]

Wow....many my age would remember him. Was in the 2nd wave of free agents so made some decent $$ over his career.

Doug DeCinces, the Former #Angels and #Orioles star infielder, now faces decades in prison after being found guilty of inside trading.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Not your age but absolutely remember him. Angels right?

Orioles 1st at the end of the Weaver era, then the Angels. Probably 5-6 years with each and a pretty good player with both.

[Guest]

To be referenced during all the hoo ha about how great Derek Jeter was.....

[aualum06]

Just amazing that Tram isn't in the hall

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Tanaka gives up HR in the Top of the 1st to the first two Astros to come to the plate on SNB. Then loads the bases. Then gives up a GS.

I took the Yankees ML.

[Floyd Robertson]

Disgusting, really.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Indeed.

8-0 now, top 2nd.

[Tim Wakefield]

There's nothing I love more than heads-up base running. Great stuff.

Here is to heads up base running!

[Tim Wakefield]

My friend and i just BP. Felt good to poke a few outta there. I'm pretty frickin tired though..took two full rounds. Rounding the balls up afterwards takes a long fuckin time with two people

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Did Posey leave his pitcher out to dry on purpose? Sure sounded like it. Good on him. Stupid grudge.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Watching it on Sportcenter, Posey definitely didn't approve. Comments as well. Love it.

I'm starting to really like Bryce Harper. Not only did he kick Strickland's ass, but he told a bunch of little leaguers the other day that participation trophies don't count. The country would be a lot better off with more people like him.

[Guest]

Still an amazing run....

Today in 1973, Dodgers start infield of Cey, Russell, Lopes, & Garvey for 1st time. They stay together 8 1/2 yrs until Cey marries Yoko Ono.
