Yesterday was a big day for LA Dodger’s Shohei Ohtani, and what a day it was.
We are on the tail end of the dog days of summer. But it wasn’t too late for Ohtani to celebrate his best friend, Decoy.
The pitcher and his dog were honored with a bobblehead at the game, and the fans lined up early to get one.
Then, when they got inside, they witnessed a Major League first. Ohanti’s dog, wearing a baseball jersey with his dad’s number 17 on it, threw the first pitch! Creating an arfdorable moment that delighted everyone in the crowd,
The night was only getting started. As it went on, Ohtani scored his 42nd homerun and his 41st and 42nd stolen bases for the year. That is why he is the $70 million man.
They say three times is a charm, and the baseball played had a charming night,
On Friday, Lucy May, 10 months old, made her baseball debut as the bat girl for the Clearwater Threshers.
How did it go? She scored a home run in the hearts of the crowd, even though she made a foul on the field.
During practice, she was introduced to the baseball fans, and immediately things went wrong. Her master let her off the leash to retrieve the bat, and instead, she ran away. She then went over towards first base and stopped. What did she do? She did a doo doo.
And with that, she is the star of the Philadelphia Phillies minor league team! Go, Lucy May!
Hopefully, she will be called up to the majors soon.
But until then, she isn’t going anywhere. The Threshers declared, “She’s over 6 years younger than Layla was when she started, so she’s still learning.
“She’s got lots of time until our home opener in April, and we know she’ll get it just right soon ”
For the first time since I lived in Miami and would go to NY Yankees vs NY Mets games, I am going to be watching minor league games.
I was working when all of a sudden, I felt a strong jolt. So my cat and I jumped up in fright because she doesn’t give me any warnings like an animal is supposed to do when one is going to happen.
Anyways, we were not the only ones who felt it. ESPN Los Angeles‘ Travis Rodgers, Allen Silwa, Emily Hybl, and Beto Durán also felt the ground shake while they were live doing their show Travis and Silwa. While the boys rolled with the punch, newbie Emily ducked under her desk.
Anthony Ammirati has been preparing his whole life for the Olympics. But something he has had his whole life cost him the medal.
That is because when he attempted the 5.70-meter bar, something went wrong. His huge pole between his legs hit the bar, and he was disqualified. Thus costing him the Olympics.
At least no one can say he didn’t have the balls to try! Because we saw them.
While he didn’t medal, we will not soon forget the Frenchman and his baguette.
In case you haven’t heard, there is going to be a Solar Eclipse on Monday. Therefore, people are planning on watching it even though it is happening during the middle of the day.
Case in point. It is expected to last between 2:09 p.m. and 4:37 p.m. in NYC, the exact time the New York Yankees were slated to play the Florida Marlins.
I put that in the past tense because they changed the start time. The team wrote, “After discussions with Major League Baseball, the scheduled start time of the Yankees-Marlins game on Monday, April 8 at Yankee Stadium has been changed from 2:05 p.m. to 6:05 p.m.”
As a compensation to the fans who are attending the game, they are getting a Yankees Solar Eclipse T-Shirt presented by HubSpot.
I miss the days when they handed out baseball bats.
Back to the game. Doors will open at 2 p.m. If I were still in The Bronx, I would go to the stadium to watch it because I am sure it is going to look pretty cool from there.
