Have a good day, you filthy animals. By the time I come back to The Dugout later on, please make sure you have all the lines freshly rolled out between home and 1st and 3rd base (perfectly straight, please), and you have the batter’s box perfectly marked with that beautiful white chalk per exact specifications. Oh yeah, when you lay down the bases, please make sure they are white as a new snow. No dirty smudges or prints, just perfectly clean, symmetrical bases.

It‘s not a hard job, but a very important job. Be perfect today, fellas.

Thanks!

We used to setup our own field in high school. Drove the John Deere gator on the infield dirt and hand raked the corner infield cut outs to make it look really nice. We had this white spray to make the bases really pop too. I got you!

Just wanted to give a shoutout to my former school and former teammate who has been the head coach for the past several seasons. Won multiple district championships since taking over in the mid-2010s. He has been doing his part to grow the game of baseball. This is from a couple years ago but just thought of it for some reason. I played baseball with a girl (not this girl in the video) in rec summer league during my middle school years and she was better than the majority of the boys. Even made all star teams. She could pitch and play all the infield positions. So if you have a little girl or know of a little girl, don’t let anyone deter her from playing baseball with the boys. You never know, she might be good enough to kick their butts.

Wouldn’t mind getting a couple of those in the transfer portal.

I assume you mean the voluptuous babes that are the Alabama Crimsonettes aka the Alabama Baton Twirlers which can transfer as Volunteers cheerleaders if they ever decided to transfer to the University of Tennessee.

The South has risen again in Alabama mainly with Alabama Crimsonettes which are babes wearing revealing uniforms that are mostly equal to what the Twin Peak Babes wear.
I see they wear pantyhose which might be the same brand as Hooters girls.

The Crimsonettes is a creative name using the word Crimson.
I’m surprised no Baton Twirling League because it isn’t some easy task much like Golf is a challenging sport because hitting a ball long distance with needing to get in the right area, and getting a golf ball in a hole with a low amount of swings.

Marvel at the stunning Alabama Crimsonettes.

Vols majorettes are dressed much more classy… Would be a huge lifestyle change for those elephant girls.

I see those are leotards which do show off the legs.
It would be a great change because the Crimsonettes are not wearing classy uniforms even though the tops are not as revealing as the Crop Tops that Twin Peaks girls wear.

On January 5 in Baseball History...​

  • 1920 - The Yankees announce the purchase of Babe Ruth. The deal had been delayed until Ruth agreed to terms believed to be $40,000 total for two years.

  • 1925 - During a European tour by the White Sox and Giants, the French Baseball Federation awards silver medals to John McGraw, Charlie Comiskey, and Hughie Jennings for their efforts to advance the game in France.

  • 1927 - Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis begins a three-day public hearing on the charges that four games played between Chicago and Detroit in 1917 had been thrown to the White Sox. The White Sox, Swede Risberg contends, returned the favor for two games in 1919. A week after the hearing opens, Landis clears all the accused due to a lack of evidence.

  • 1931 - Lucille Thomas purchases the Topeka franchise in the Western League. She becomes the first woman to buy a professional baseball team.

  • 1943 - Teams agree to start the season later than usual and prepare to train in northern areas because of World War II. Resorts, armories, and university facilities are chosen for training sites. The Dodgers will train at Bear Mountain, New York; the Cardinals hop to Cape Girardeau, Missouri; the Yankees try Atlantic City.

  • 1957 - Jackie Robinson retires rather than move across town from the Dodgers to the Giants, to whom he had been traded in December.

  • 1960 - The Continental League, a proposed third major league, gets an assurance of congressional support from New York Senator Kenneth Keating.

  • 1963 - Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby dies at age 66 of a heart ailment. Hornsby's .358 career batting average is the second highest in major league history.

  • 1989 - Three weeks after signing a record four-year, $1.1 billion network television contract with CBS, major league baseball signs a $400 million contract with ESPN. The deal will put 175 games per year on cable television beginning in 1990.

  • 1993 - Reggie Jackson is the lone player elected to the Hall of Fame. Jackson, whose .262 lifetime batting average is the lowest of any outfielder in the Hall, receives 93.6 percent of the vote. Jackson's 563 career home runs make him a hit with voters in his first year of eligibility.

  • 1998 - Don Sutton gets into the Hall of Fame on his fifth try. With 324 wins, he had the most victories of any eligible pitcher not in the Hall of Fame. He reached the postseason with three different clubs (Dodgers, Brewers, and Angels), and struck out 3,574 batters in 23 seasons. Sutton receives 386 votes of the record 473 ballots cast for 81.6 percent; Tony Perez falls short with 355 votes and Ron Santo, on the ballot for the 15th and final time, gains 204 votes.

Anyone excited for XFL? @cobbwebb0710 @mad4vols @chuckiepoo all your NFL teams suck so might as well watch a level of football you are used to watching. Titans could find a diamond in the rough WR, Dolphins might find a QB that isn’t perpetually concussed, Lions might find someone that can play defense every other play, Texans…you could just sign an entire team 😜

Vipers-Renegades to kick off XFL's return Feb. 18

TRIVIA

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1973 season, during which Davey Johnson(43), Darrell Evans (41) and Hank Aaron(40) each hit at least 40 homers for the Braves. They remain one of three teammate trios to ever accomplish this feat in a season and the only non-Rockies trio to do so. How many other Braves trios have hit at least 35 homers in the same season?
A) Two
B) Three
C) Four
D) Five

Glad you’re back up and running!

Thanks, but it's freaky as hell. Once back up long enough to communicate w/somebody, I got in touch w/spectrum & all I get from them is a computer lady that asks dumb questions. I asked (in chat) if there was a problem for the service interruptions in my area code. They ask me back what I'm having trouble with. I said everything, but they want to know about only two problems. Finally, they come back & say we show no problems with service in your area after I'm already up & running now at top speed. Idiots as usual.
