Chris Carpenter
I’d have to say that Chris Carpenter is my generation’s Bob Gibson. He’d be a guaranteed Hall of Fame pitcher if he had just a few of those seasons back from injury. His favorite game is the same as the rest of us…that 2011 NLCS duel with Roy Halladay. Epic game. Cool to see him…

Head First
I knew this because I heard Buck Showalter actually timed guys sliding into 1st and proved sliding was slower than running through the bag. The Sport Science guys do a great job illustrating the data. Please do not tell your kids/players to slide into first! http://www.espn.com/video/clip?ex_cid=espnfb&fbclid=IwAR0TTwxIv_yQu375pd8nS34Lhljz2NcxzZzQ4_iKwAw2HZIUL5HiDzpPCpI&id=10766501

Rain Delays
The Cardinals had a couple of long rain delays today before they hung on to win. The only good thing about rain delays are you get to watch all the World Series Championship, playoff footage, etc to pass the time. What do other teams do on rain delays? 😀 Go CARDS!

12 in a Row
Well, only 12 more wins in a row vs the Cubs and we’ll be in first place! 😉 Sure seemed like a late season atmosphere at Wrigley. Yadi saved the day with his cannon of an arm.

Illini Baseball
Around this time last year I watched our Illini end their unbelievable season vs Vanderbilt. Walking out of the stadium we heard the roar from Vandy fans as Dansby Swanson got drafted #1 after just winning a super regional. Illini Tyler Jay went #6. Wish the Illini could’ve made it to Omaha, but still a…
