    Great game at Rickwood. I'm glad you were able to cover it and experience the ambiance of the park, if not the area.
    I hope serious and successful efforts are made to preserve as many of the remaining historic parks as possible--even if people need to be educated about the history.
    If they play an MLB game in the old Evansville park I'll definitely be there.
    Great win
    Looking forward to the show about today's game.

    I remember saying before the season I didn’t care what Winnie hit, I hoped for a .250/.325/.375…thinking the offense was robust enough to carry his light hitting.
    But Brenden, he looks like a superstar in waiting. I mean, he might be the best defensive SS since Renteria, and he’s got some pop.

    Great venue in an historic ballpark. Winn played very well as he usually does but one play could have been ugly. He strayed way off of 1st and when the catcher bobbled the ball he took a few more steps toward 2nd. The catcher finally controlled the ball and was in front of home plate. Winn was froze and instead of the catcher running toward him and faking throws to 1st and 2nd he stood there and tossed the ball to 2nd giving Winn an easy way back to 1st. Thought they taught that play in little league. This game was more than just about baseball. Best game and venue I have ever seen. I played there a couple games in the early 70’s and this game brought back so many memories. Very emotional for me thinking of how far we have come. Hopefully MLB has at least a game at Rickwood every year.

    One doesn't have to be black, or a person of color to be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the moment and the historical significance, and then there was the tributes to Willie Mays, and then Reggie Jackson, candidly, tells his painful story of his time in the south. Bob Gibson, had his own adversity in the face of racism, and in 1967, the great HOF sportswriter, Bob Broeg brought Gibson a breakfast sandwich so he could have something to eat before game 7 of the World Series. He wasn't allowed to eat with the team.

    I noticed that the pants they were wearing seem to be the new design from this year but the jerseys they were wearing were jerseys from last year not this year. The mlb logo was in the right place towards the top, the plackets were back to their original size, and the players weren’t sweating through them. Also the STL stars jerseys had last year’s embroidered Stifel patch as opposed to this year’s cheaper plastic Stifel patch. Could this be a sign that Nike is going back to last years jerseys and patches or could these even be a prototype for what we could see in 2025. I guess we’ll see.

    I want to see how the team performs once we get Contreras, Nootbar, and Edmonds back. If we can score enough runs to give the bullpen breaks and rotate them in and out, I think this team could be a playoff contender. Honestly, I think they should trade Paul to the yanks or phils for some pitching and bench depth. Drop Arenado down in the order and let the young guys be young guys.
    Ken Griffey Jr was once on the field at yankee stadium and he was not allowed to play on the field, yet one of the white ballplayers had his child on the field. His father told him, that's the NYY. It must have torn Steinbrenner up because there was not enough money that could be thrown at him to get him to be a yankee.
    I hate that the media hated Bonds, even if he juiced he was still a hof before he ever got on the it. It would be amazing to have him around the game more often. He's sitting on much baseball knowledge, Willie Mays godson, he is a great link to the past.
    I am happy that we got to celeberate the Negro Leagues and the players.

    Never, never, give Barry Bonds that much credit. Yes, he was an exceptional player before steroids, a Hall of FAME player; however, he was never in the mention of one of the “Greatest of All Time.” He was fast as a younger player, but he had no arm. Any Gold Glove he could have won was based on speed. His envy of others led to his explicit decision to take so many steroids that his whole body changed. As the creators of his steroids said, “We were surprised. We expected the drugs could increase muscle mass and strength; we did not envision the increase in quick-twitch reflex, muscle reaction.” NEVER UNDERESTIMATE WHY HE CAN NEVER BE IN THE HALL! If we can keep Shoeless Joe Jackson and others accused of betting on baseball out, WE CAN NEVER LET BONDS BACK IN THE GOOD GRACES! I am even closer (but NEVER IN still) to allowing Pete Rose in. NO! The Hall should be, isn’t always, but should be…about HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE….not just play on the field. Is this guy worth giving honor? No. Absolutely not! He let a good man, a close friend, rot in jail, rather than just admit what he took. I think the time in jail reached a year.

      @@bschaeffer12 Absolutely, we can always agree to disagree. Let’s talk about what I think we both agree upon: Hearing about Willie mays, and about the fact that even the great Roberto Clemente suffered some racial discrimination makes my lifelong admiration of their greatness and personalities even more important. Growing up, my two favorite players were Roy Campanella, (spelling unsure) and Roberto Clemente. I was a catcher, but the latter, Clemente joined Willie Mays in demonstrating the joy of playing the game! What Mays accomplished on defense, with speed, and in hitting for average and power, with such great all-around success may never be equaled. We can probably agree the a Japanese man, special, unique, may well inspire the net generation of players, may well set records never before imagined, inspiring more individuals, from ethnicities we do not yet even associate with baseball. Sports! To know that many of the greats from the Cards’ early days played against the Negro Leagues’ players in the summer, many knowing some of the best athletes in the world were being denied what should have been their birthrights: to play the game!

Hit and run, moving runners over, productive outs. We do not need 40-50 hr guys any more. We need better fundamentals. Slugging and home runs are nice, but getting key basehits and scoring risp.
