    1. If a player stole 60 bases a season for 22 years, Rickey Henderson would STILL have more steals. 😲
    2. Now this is just awesome! Drew Maggi’s first MLB at bat after being in the minors for 13 years!
    3. Jacob Misiorowski throws the fastest pitch by a starting pitcher in MLB history at 105mph!!

    1. The odds of someone hitting two grand slams in the same inning is basically 1 in 75869795847. In ‘99 Fernando Tatis Sr. did it. He’s the only one in baseball history to ever accomplish this feat
    2. Ted Williams explaining why sometimes taking a pitch matters more than swinging. This 3D Strike Zone display now sits in Cooperstown for all to admire.
    3. Bob Uecker speaks about himself and Bob Gibson getting fined for ruining a team photo by holding hands during team picture in 1964

    2. MLBPA has made its first proposal in collective bargaining 👀
