The "french fry" comment baffled me until I figured out he meant the batter rather than the fan. Why don't they just raise the HR line to the top of the fencing?

Every baseball stadium has their own ground rules, at Wrigley. You got to hit it into the basket for a home run. Also, a ball lasting the ivy is a ground rule double

That's what happens when you use talk to type while posting on a crowded, noisy el train coming home from Wrigley.

And yeah, you've got to get it into the basket or beyond.

The world is just a little bit better. Nine straight wins including today's walk off in extra innings.

Great come from behind win against Dodgers!

[O Really]

Padres find themselves at least temporarily in first place over the Dodgers. Let's hope the Cubbies continue their winning ways!

Ichiro statue unveiled

Apr 10, 2026
The statue was damaged during the unveiling.

Opps. This is why the Bronze Age ended.

Broken Bat

Why is the bat broken?

Because made in america

Suzuki laughs off mishap with Mariano joke

Oh, snap.

The unveiling of Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki’s statue had an unforced error on Friday – a broken bat.

... A snapping noise could be heard as the bronze bat flopped down and confetti sprouted up.

... The statue depicts Suzuki in his batting stance. He appeared to find the mishap to be hilarious, and joked through an interpreter that New York Yankees Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera got the best of him again.

“I didn’t think Mariano would come out here,” Suzuki said with a smile, “and break the bat.”

... Suzuki made history as the first Japanese-born player inducted into the Hall of Fame, earning a near-unanimous 99.7% of the vote from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

The way the jovial Suzuki saw it, his statue having an imperfection was only fitting.

“In the Hall of Fame, I was short one vote,” Suzuki said. “Today, the bat was broke. It kind of lets me know that I’m still not there, that I still need to keep going. So, this is a good example of that.”
