This is from a real account. A friend sent this to me. Not shocked one bit. Paging @Orange.

About what I'd expect!

I was saving ^this photo for a Florida game, but it's just so fitting here. I did buy the Shuckers king cake baseball hat! Purple with the king cake and no writing: it's Mardi Gras ready imo.

Also, boom!

The Late, Great Jack Brickhouse called "The Porch...3 Houses Down" on a Dave Kingman DONG!

That tweet is not true. There could be a base running blunder where one of the runners passes another on the base path and would be called out, decreasing your RBI total.

Or a guy breaks his leg celebrating while running the bases

We’re at my son’s middle school city wide math competition. These kids are insane.

How’d it go professor?
Tell him congrats from the dugout, that’s an awesome competition to be involved with!

Thanks CW, hard to tell how it went because most of it was tests on paper. They had a lightning round that parents could attend with the top 12 students and he didn’t make it to that. The questions filled whole slides and these kids could answer them before the host even got done reading the question. I could answer very few of these questions. Pretty wild
