Probably already mentioned, but my boy just informed me that Chipper is throwing out the first pitch to Johnny Bench, at the Bristol game!

Do you think Johnny Bench can find home plate?

I will hold my comment to this question for now
in respects to my elders.

You're older than Johnny Bench...

You're older than Johnny Bench...

Let's fact check that sir. Bench born 2 years B4 WTOB.
He's the same age as my brother who I have to go pick
up on Wednesday at the Memphis Airport this time.
Now, all you young whipper snappers know my age.

Cool, moral to the story is by the time I'm 77 ( even if I live to be 77) I probably want even be able to find my car...

There should be an alert (panic) button on your car keys to push for alarm to work.

Say hello to Emily. She finally came out from hiding to see you.

Has this baseball landed back on earth anywhere yet?

Best majestic home run hitter in the game right now. There are some guys where it seems the ball jumps off the bat differently and has a very distinctly different crack of the bat compared to most. Acuña is one of them.

This guy gets it. Would love to have him on my team any day of the week. People that don’t like him are either trolls or play against him twice per season and are jealous because they continue getting their brains beaten in.

Yeah I saw that yesterday or the day prior.

Finding your car will be the easy part. It’s finding your way home that will be most challenging

That is a new one on me. We used to use the back of a closed glove to stop the ball with the throwing hand there to actually catch it. Used it for transfers in a double play scenario (2nd and SS).

WTOB headed to Taco Bell..

We had so much fun (1970s) during the Disco Era. I was sad to see it leave.
I also got to be a Pinball Wizard too. Loved those games.

I was always taught to have my throwing hand on top of the glove kind of like a clamshell opening, that way your hand is there to prevent the ball from popping out and easily transfer to throw. I guess everyone has their own way of doing it

My car said 111 degrees in direct sunlight and I believe it

At least there is another thunderstorm rolling through in a few minutes. Not like we’ve had one every other day of the week all summer long
