Made headlines on this day in 1936, my rookie season with the Cards. Me and ol' Diz put one over those Cubs. By the way, I named one of my huntin' dogs Diz after this season. Good times. #Baseball #baseballhistory #Cardinals St. Louis Cardinals BaseballHistoryNut

I was still a brand new Yankee on this day in 1949. In my second game with the team from the Bronx, I hit a home run off Bob Feller to help us win in Cleveland. Pretty good way to start earning my keep! Jerry Grillo The Baseball Project SABR

On this day in 1950 I hit a home run in each game of a doubleheader, lifting the New York Yankees into first place. One of 'em was off Bob Feller. Not a bad day for the Big Cat.

This is me and Howard Finster, together in some other dimension. I admire Howard's visual artistry and he admired my hitting artistry. Go to Finster Fest this Saturday and visit the guy who wrote BIG CAT (about me). BaseballHistoryNut The Baseball Project Jerry Grillo

I learned pretty early that baseball was a business, first and foremost. Every year with the St. Louis Cardinals, as soon as the season was over, I'd be mentioned as trade bait. . Bird Chatter Baseball #BaseballHistory ⚾️ BaseballHistoryNut Jerry Grillo

My sincere condolences go out to Rickey Henderson's family and friends. He left the world too soon. Now, I suppose, we have a new leadoff hitter to share that role with Cool Papa Bell for our team here in the Elysian Fields.

I've seen every Super Bowl and can't figure out why so many folks (all of them white, turns out) are so upset by last night's halftime show. I thought it was good. Anyway, I was always the quiet type when I was alive, especially if I didn't have a clue about something.

I was a fine bassball player in my day.
