A 6-hour layover in Nashville was just long enough to make a trip to a spot that’s been on my radar for a while now: Parnassus Books, owned by one of my favorite authors, Ann Patchett. She has signed every book of hers in the store. It was awesome! @parnassusbooks.bsky.social

New blog post: Truist Park in Atlanta, where we saw the ballpark but didn’t actually see a pitch. And some bonus material if you are a fan of the Walking Dead! tenstadiumstendays.com/2025/07/05/t...

Truist Park, Atlanta GA

Well, our first experience at Truist Park was an interesting one, that’s for sure! A couple of months ago we started planning a trip to see family, both in the mountains of North Carolina and…

MLB hyped up this big Skenes vs. Misiorowski matchup and they end up pitching a total of nine innings combined. Not exactly Morris/Smoltz going on here lol

Planning to see games at six different ballparks over the next few weeks: Truist Park, Comerica Park, Rate Field, Target Field, Kauffman Stadium, and Yankee Stadium. Three (ATL, MIN, KC) are first-time trips; excited to add them to the website! tenstadiumstendays.com

The ump at my daughter’s softball game took a pretty hard foul ball off his mask. He said “don’t worry, I’ll live!” Then he turned to the crowd and said “I’ve been doing this for 50 years and I’ve never seen a ball hit my mask yet! You know why? Because I close my eyes!” God bless umps!

If you’re anywhere near Sunnyvale tonight and want to stop by the Quarter Note Bar & Grill, you can check out some live music and we’d love to see you! Bionic Sloth hits the stage at 9, so we will go on around 10:30. Which is normally past my bedtime but…Rock and roll!!!

Sometimes Jason Benetti throws these gems out so casually that I worry not enough people are catching them lol. He just called a Kerry Carpenter long ball on an off-speed pitch, one he had to wait on for a while, the ‘Alice’s Restaurant’ of home runs. You gotta wait for it. It’ll come around 😂

Found a bunch of random ‘84 Tiger cards while cleaning the attic. If you’re a baseball fan, the odds of remembering every player on your favorite team when you were 10 years old are pretty high!

The play was officially ’on’ after Louie came out to the mound and announced “no hits, no errors!’ to the infield. We all got so excited when we heard it but it never actually worked, save one time. We celebrated like we had won game 7 of the World Series

Was just thinking about my JV baseball coach back in the early 90s, Lou Pironella, who we all affectionately called ‘Screwy Louie’ and who loved trick plays. As a first baseman, my favorite was a wild fake pickoff where the pitcher would fake to first and I’d take off running after the pretend throw

Literally impossible for Lions fans to watch this game without thinking about a massive opportunity squandered. Ford Field should be rocking right now. Yes, I’m bitter and whiny about it 😂

I’m sure there’s probably more to it than this, but it looked like the Notre Dame defender was jumping up and down to show that he was 100% sure who was getting the ball for Ohio State on that TD, and then when the play started he ran far away from that guy 😂

Just saw a commercial for a movie called ‘Den of Thieves 2’ and I’m wondering if it’s important that I know the plot of ‘Den of Thieves 1’ or that this movie even existed before seeing the second one

I know there are a lot of playoff critics, but it seems like any college football semifinal that doesn’t include either Georgia or Alabama is a success

RIP Charlie Maxwell, who was the Detroit Tigers oldest living former player at 97. This is a crazy fact: his first three big league home runs came against Bob Feller, Bob Lemon and Satchel Paige!

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the people who were complaining for years that there should be more teams in the college football playoff are now complaining that there are too many teams in the college football playoff.

Rickey was my first favorite player as a kid; as a little leaguer in the 80s who wanted to swipe every base possible, I was OBSESSED with him. He’s the main reason I was an Oakland A’s fan. I’m so sorry and sad to hear this news; he was way too young. RIP to the Man of Steal.

Rocky Colavito (RIP) was before my time but I always remember my dad talking about how crazy the trade was that sent the reigning batting champ, Harvey Kuenn, to Cleveland for the reigning home run champ, Colavito, right before the 1960 season began. Imagine Aaron Judge being dealt for Bobby Witt!

I am in the middle of a frustrating experience with my optometrist; I ordered new glasses over a month ago and they’re still not here. Figured I’d give a call & leave a message, and got routed through a “helpful” AI bot with whom I had to chat for five minutes before finally saying the magic words.
