It was a perfect night for Reading Fightin Phils baseball. Wearing my Roto Wear/Pitching Ninja shirt to raise funds for Project ALS in honor of brilliant baseball writer Sarah Langs. Baseball is the best!

Bumping from this morning
The Pirates’ bullpen has more losses (23) than saves (21). They have allowed 187 runs from the 7th-9th inning, the 2nd most in MLB. Their 4.83 ERA in the 7th-9th is one of the worst in franchise history.
They don’t just need bullpen help. They need a stud

Things that have been invented since Grover Cleveland Alexander set the Phillies record for consecutive scoreless innings in 1911:
The zipper
Sliced bread
Numbers on baseball jerseys
Chocolate chip cookies
Traffic lights
The Titanic
Automated Ball Strike System

Karter Deering added 10 points (2-3’s) for the Eagles in the Win! @CocalicoSports
▪️That's the Final home game of the season for @CocalicoBoysBB... Next up, First Round of the 5A PIAA State Tournament next Friday, March 6! Cocalico (District 3 - 7th place) will face the District 7 - 3rd place team (Hampton: 16-8 record) at a site TBD in Western PA!
Hoping the amazing @alanalda is enjoying a fantastic 90th birthday.
This hurts the Football Hall of Fame's credibility. Baseball's Hall of Fame selection process isn't perfect, but it's a lot better. A key difference: Nearly 400 baseball writers vote for its hall, which minimizes the chance of big mistakes. Football's hall has 50 voters.
Bill Belichick, the 8-time Super Bowl-winning HC, is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, per @SethWickersham and @DVNJr. Belichick fell short of the 40 out of 50 votes needed for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

Hall of Famer Max Carey was born this day in 1890 in Terre Haute, Indiana. Known by the nickname "Scoops" for his defensive ability to catch fly balls in front of him, he was also one of the era's greatest baserunners. He led the National League in stolen bases 10 times between 1913 and 1925. His career total of 738 stolen bases was a National League record for nearly 50 years until it was broken by Lou Brock in 1974. Carey led all National League outfielders in putouts nine times and established a then-career record of 6,363 putouts. Hero: In the 1925 World Series, he hit .458 to help lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a championship over the Washington Senators. After retiring, he managed the Brooklyn Dodgers (1932–1933) and later became a key figure in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL), serving as both a manager and league president.

A Pittsburgh sports team could have its season defined by a player punching a fan (wearing a blue wig, who later held a press conference) and its best player suffering a collapsed lung due to a dry-needling procedure gone awry.
And, somehow, it's not the Pirates. Big upset.
