Guess it’s time to change my pinned tweet after four years to his first high school homer, which came at Doubleday Field this season.
I rarely shoot video of him hitting or pitching. But something told me to break out the camera and film his first AB. I accidentally did it in slow mo (while switching back and forth from doing GameChanger) and sure enough, he hits his first real home run. (5/7)

Coming to you from just a few miles west of Cooperstown!
Rockefeller Center’s Christmas tree has arrived in NYC! 🎄 The 76-foot, 75-year-old Norway spruce traveled 200 miles from West Edmeston. A crane lifts it into place tomorrow. It lights up Dec. 2, continuing a tradition started by construction workers in 1931.

Huge thanks to the @FenimoreArt Museum for hosting our Leadership team offsite today. Just a mile from @BaseballHall, it’s another gem in Cooperstown that you should plan to visit when you’re here.

So great having former D-backs colleague and current Astros broadcaster, Geoff Blum and his wife, Kory, in Cooperstown today. He was reunited with his home run bat from the 2005 World Series and had a blast @BaseballHall.

I’m obviously biased but I do believe this is the best internship program I’ve seen in 30+ years of working professionally. Please share within your networks!
Want to spend the summer in Cooperstown? Applications are now open for the 2027 Steele Internship Program! ➡️ baseballhall.org/intern

Four Hall of Famers weighing in from the parade. Congrats, Molly, Rollie, Ted and Robin! #WonOurWay
Alumni of the 1982 Brewers were present at the World Series victory rally to show their appreciation.

Cooper Pratt was so genuinely excited that his bat, which was made locally in Cooperstown, was headed back here. Fun behind-the-scenes story from @btdoolittle about how it came to be: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/5031…

Feb. 20, 2024: Happened to be at Brewers camp when Mark Attanasio addressed the media and pointed out that over the previous 8 years, they had the third-best record in the NL. Since then, they went 293-193 (.603), best in baseball. Now, #WorldSeries Champions.

So happy for all the behind the scenes people when a World Series ends. Clubbies, PR, trainers, traveling secretaries, front office, ushers, vendors. They live every moment of a season and to experience this kind of joy must be so cool. Congrats, Mikey!

Made a visit to the childhood home of @BaseballHall of Famer Al Lopez, which is now a museum about the history of baseball in Tampa. So much talent has come out of this area, it’s kind of mind blowing.

One of the most incredible things I experience in every clubhouse is how many big leaguers came to Cooperstown to play in a tournament when they were 12. Love this graphic every October.

Having been involved with JDRF for years, I loved hearing Garrett Mitchell yesterday pregame. “Growing up I didn’t have a ton of people I could look up to (with diabetes). For me being in this position…it’s super special to be able to help people who have challenging journeys.”

My flight to Tampa is something else. I’ve counted at least 40 people with Brewers gear on: Jerseys of Uecker, Chourio, Yelich, Contreras, Yount and Molitor. Hats. Hoodies. The woman in front of me watching League of their Own. Baseball is the best. #WorldSeries
