It will be a challenging day to be on the internet and keep the focus on baseball. I know it’s a privilege to be able to even *try* to just focus on baseball, but I’ll be honest, that’s what I prefer to do right now.
Congratulations to @Cubs prospect @nico_hoerner, who made his @MLB debut in 2019 and then completed his @Stanford degree in American Studies. He told @MLBNetworkRadio, “My parents sacrificed a lot for me to get a good education. Finishing it for them was a good part of it.”

So I went to Wrigley the other day and they had the first of the #Cubs Nike jerseys. If you haven’t heard, MLB is switching from Majestic to Nike. Keep in mind these are not the authentic jerseys, more like the step down, heat pressed, no stitching. Thoughts Cubs fans? pic.twitter.com/OP8nLEOy3h
