The first @wpbl.bsky.social championship begins tonight. Who will win it all: The Queens or the Firebells? Here's a quick preview to get you ready. (I'll also be watching the game at Athena Keke's in BK who are hosting a watch party for those in the area): www.mlb.com/news/wpbl-ch...

Will the Queens or Firebells emerge victorious in the first WPBL championship?

The Los Angeles Queens certainly made things interesting. Their 9-2 lead during Monday’s Game 3, winner-take-all Women's Pro Baseball League semifinal matchup against the New York Heights soon disappe...

To overhype and over focus on a player just because she’s the great white straight hope is very toxic, and just unfortunate.

It was quite a game, the Sky played tough against a hot team! I have a giveaway Skylar Diggins pin if you’d like it.

Swing voters are generally stupid and uninformed, which is a big reason why we got to where we are.

Why not just gun control, which protects everyone?

Too much misdirected Clark fandom, seems like it’s mostly among white men, as she’s both white and straight.

Why is Sykes given platforms like this? Those of us in Milwaukee endured years of his rhetoric which paved the way for Trump.

I had to axe my Substack account, as it wouldn’t allow me to unsubscribe from another blog. I wish other writers would quit Substack.

Weeghman Park opened in 1914 but wasn’t a NL park until 1916.

I’m thinking Wisco is just pandering to the Brewers fans who live outside of Milwaukee and hate the city.

Kings and Pawns is fascinating

World Cup and AAGPBL reunion in Rockford, WPBL games in Springfield, IL! Maybe other events listed on the Women in Baseball Week website

Boooooo. So stupid to have cheerleaders at a baseball game. As a female fan, this infuriates me.

Another great episode! I really like the attention paid to Latino players and Outsider baseball, and so glad you asked about WPBL stats.

I saw REM in Madison, WI, in 1981 before most of us knew who they were and have been a big fan since then. There was a big snowstorm that night, and hardly anyone was there.

Buck O’Neil was such a great scout, he found the perfect person to pass his torch to. This is fantastic, and like the interview with Gary C, it’s so delightful to listen to two of my favorite people in baseball!

You have more obscure players, so respect. I chose the easier ones.

Mary Shea @baseballmary.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

This one was very doable for me, but I didn’t realize you had to choose Negro Leaguers up to 1948, so no Aaron, Mays or Banks. Otherwise, I got nine. I’m usually very baffled by this game though.

Bovino is what we used to call a little pipsqueak back in the day. Just pathetic

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

“We have a nice little database.” Two weeks ago I wrote about the risk of Trump using his NSPM-7 memo to treat citizens exercising their rights like terrorists. Now it’s a reality. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

America is an outlaw nation. We're a pariah nation. And now we stand closer to an actual shooting war with Western Europe than the Soviets ever did. Vladimir Putin, a proclaimed enemy of NATO who desires nothing more than to see it disintegrate, could not have planned this any better if he tried.
