I think I’m just getting older. Interests change over time. After two years here I’m just now coming to terms that this is okay. But I miss you guys and I miss how things used to be.

Like look at this shitty bobblehead of my dude Taijuan Walker. I drove 16 hours in 2016 to get this hunk of polyresin from Clinton, Iowa. CLINTON. IOWA. It’s a prized possession and was worth every mile through those cornfields.

A bobblehead of former Mariner legend Taijuan Walker from the Clinton LumberKings, topped with generic Black male head #3 and looks absolutely nothing like the player.

Met so many amazing people this way, like @anorak.bsky.social, who I saw at the M’s game today for the first time in a looooong time. I’ve had some of the best hugs of my life from people I talked to often and could only meet in person occasionally.

For 15 years I tweeted about a mostly terrible/sometimes wonderful baseball team and, when I could save a little bit of extra money, I would take a road trip to a Minor League ballgame or two and share my whole day with you.

I’ve been absent from baseball discourse for a bit now and I still get sweet messages from many of you asking if I’m okay. I am! We’re doing pretty great. But my move home to WA from Little Rock scrambled how I consume/perceive baseball and until recently I didn’t know why. This is Tuco btw

Well that’s painful, but I can’t help but think of my old friend Dez, who is cheering on her boy George Springer from wherever it is that good people go when they pass away. Miss you, love. 💙

Edgar and Griffey made me interested in baseball, but this man made me love it.

The Pickles’ manager is taking his daughter on his back for mound visits for Women In Sports Night and it is the most adorable thing

It’s Women in Sports Night, so the softball Pickles are taking over for the middle three innings. I’m honestly here for it

In the outfield is this gorgeous shaded alcove lined with tall trees leading to a centerfield bar that makes amazing margaritas (and if you’re feeling it, pickleritas)

Finally got to meet @mikechexx.bsky.social, the Pickles pbp announcer. Thank you sincerely for being awesome my friend

The drinks are pickle-based and appropriately delicious or disgusting depending on your preferences, and despite my last name being Dill I will forever be in the latter. This was BAD (good)

The menus here are leagues better than most MiLB teams and the food is actually fantastic. I am in HEAVEN

I know it’ll happen but I don’t know when. Let’s see if a Pickles game can help bring it back. Love all you guys.

Sofie 🏳️‍🌈 @sofieballgame.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

But I’m getting through the days, trying to find the love again by going to baseball games and not posting about them so I can rediscover my love for the game at its core and not documenting every thought about it online.

Sofie 🏳️‍🌈 @sofieballgame.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

Maybe it’s my pup dying, maybe it’s the fact that my life is completely unrecognizable from what it was last summer, maybe it’s the fact that we moved out of AR out of political necessity, which is more traumatic than I thought it might be.

Sofie 🏳️‍🌈 @sofieballgame.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

I’m excited for this Pickles road trip, but being transparent, this summer has been a rough one mental health speaking. Baseball hasn’t been a passion for a little bit and I’ve had to come to terms with that.

And here’s a bell of perhaps some significance, maybe? this was a work trip detour and honestly I’m pretty unprepared with details but HERE IS A BELL

It’s 65° and honestly perfect, lots of families watching ball tonight

Look at this DUDE. The day after his debut he would hit his first dinger out of the park in Everett, a hit immortalized in concrete where the ball landed to this very day

Today I’m at Joe Martin Field in Bellingham, home of the Bells, the ballpark where Ken Griffey Jr. made his professional debut on June 16, 1987.

I am okay! Thank you to everyone who has reached out. Been absent a bit while spending a lot of quality family time with the wife and the pup. I’ve seen one baseball game in the last ten days, and it involved chowdah with the besties at Funko. It was healing. Love you guys. I’ll be back soon.

Sofie 🏳️‍🌈 @sofieballgame.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

It’s a daydrinking kind of day, and I just want to say thank you for all of your messages of love as we mourn the old pup. I love all you guys and am so glad we crossed paths on this cursed internet

This was Diesel. He was a little shit, loved smelling foods at baseball games, and brought joy to so many people. He dramatically waited until Pride Month to cross the rainbow bridge and lived a thousand lifetimes in his sixteen years. I’ll carry you in my heart forever, my little dude.

The Arkansas Travelers, my home team of 13 years before last August, sent me a replica championship ring for me to celebrate their 2024 Texas League Championship from afar. I am beyond touched 😭😭 Thank you @artravs.bsky.social, I miss you all so much.
