Games Seven, Attorneys General, and Hunters Renfroe/w?
Too little, too late, yet ultimately good decisions about the Negro Leagues and also Cleveland Baseball. We've got generous, hard-hitting, and dare we say it, "adorable" boyfriends from the Red Sox and Rockies. Please give all of your money to Reinas Baseball. Manny gets lost down under, and Omar continues to bring the heartbreak.
This past week Major League Baseball acknowledged the Negro Leagues with the unfortunate word choice “elevate.” Timing and vocabulary, and a history of discrimination aside, voices we trust see this as righting a wrong and therefore ultimately good. Let the fun of combining stats and declaring some new record-holders begin! The Cleveland Baseball Team announced it will have a new team nickname in place for 2022 even though Patti is sure they’ve already got it selected and the logo designed and it should be The Rocks but it is probably the Spiders.
Pottymouth’s Red Sox boyfriend is adorable and hard-working Jeter Downs -- guess who he wants to emulate in all the right ways? Patti goes for brand new Red Sox Hunter Renfroe, fresh off his World Series appearance with the Rays, not Las Vegas Raiders Hunter Renfrow. And not because he once caught a possum with his bare hands. For the Rockies, Pottymouth chooses Raimel Tapia, he of the great hair and greater generosity, while Patti picks Sam “Charlie Blackmon 2.0” Hilliard and his family’s dedication to raising funds for ALS through their #TeamHilliard actions.
Stop what you are doing and give all your money to Reinas Baseball to support 20 year old Latinx founder Gabby Veléz bring baseball to girls in New York City. More good in the world, this time from Ian Desmond, who is starting to roll out his Newtown Connection project to enhance and connect the work of existing community organizations.
Godammit Omar. Hey, Manny? Pottymouth paid $10 to watch you play baseball down under, not get lost with Rachel Balkovic. What’s really going on here?
