Today SABR launched an incredible new book and companion website on Baseball at Manzanar: How We Played the Game, 1942-1945. It’s the story of 120,000 Japanese Americans who were removed from their homes after Pearl Harbor and forced to live at remote incarceration camps: sabr.org/baseball-at-...

White Sox beat the Astros, 6-3 Every member of the starting lineup reached based as the Sox applied consistent early pressure to an Astros bullpen game. Hagen Smith threw three scoreless. Grant Taylor got seven grueling outs. Sox can advance tomorrow.

Oh shit the White Sox are literally on a mission from God

Letter to Jerry Reinsdorf from the pope

I was pleased to receive the kind letter that you
sent
following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026
Leo PXIV

Infielder Jack Pineda, over stints with both NW Arkansas and Omaha, batted .351 with a .944 OPS. That average placed Jack THIRD among 962 players with 325+ PA while his OPS was in the 96th percentile! #RaisingRoyals👑

On September 9, 1965, Juan Marichal threw his tenth shutout of the season. On September 7, 2026, Jesus Luzardo threw the entire league's tenth shutout of the season.

I danced with Country Dick Montana on my shoulders at a Beat Farmers show. When I returned him to the stage, he gave me an ice-cold Corona. I couldn’t turn my neck for a week.

We join the rest of the world in mourning the passing of entertainment icon Dolly Parton ❤️

A photo of Dolly Parton at Yankee Stadium circa 1987. Parton is wearing a Yankees warmup jacket and Yankees cap. Standing behind her are players Dave Righetti and Rick Cerone, kneeling in front are Ron Guidry and Mike Pagliarulo. The players are all wearing Yankees home uniforms and caps. The scoreboard in the background reads “Yankees Welcome Dolly Parton.”

What a legend, what a loss. I cannot think about Dolly Parton without also thinking of what and who she inspired, including this poem by my dear, dear friend @poebot.bsky.social: "Two-Stepping to Dolly Parton's 'Jolene'" drunkenboat.dtc-wsuv.org/db8/panlitpo...
