This is how close Kurtz came to the first five-homer game in MLB history tonight. I think the '1POINTFIVE' sign is for how many feet short of a homer that ball came.

Great stuff, Manny. Out in: BAL, BOS, CHC, LAD, MIL, NYM. Storytime. In Gehrig's four-homer game on June 3, 1932, Al Simmons robbed him of a potential homer in deep center field in the top of the 9th. Would've been #5. Lip Pike had a five-homer game in 1866, pre-professionally.

Today, Shohei Ohtani is considered by many to be the best baseball player in the world. But 25 years ago, the idea that a Japanese player from NPB would be the best on the planet was preposterous to many in the baseball world. Then came Ichiro: mlb.com/news/featured/…

On Ichiro's @BaseballHall #Induction day, congratulations to Ted Heid and Jim Colborn, two then-Seattle Mariners staffers who identified #51's talent and brilliantly won the posting. Few big league teams were on Ichiro at the time, and the M's were all over it. 🇯🇵⚾️

Ichiro's elite skills benefitted from his personal drive to excel. While I was with the Seattle Mariners, I marveled at his extraordonary preparation and instincts. What fun it was to watch him play throughout his career.

Ichiro changed the landscape of baseball on two continents. And even as he goes into the Hall of Fame, he's far from finished impacting the game. "By no means is this the mountaintop." More from Ichiro on the path to this point, as well as the future: mlb.com/news/featured/…

"Ichi" in Japanese means "one." Ichiro is 1 of 1. In more ways than one. "Ichi" can also mean "first." Ichiro was the first in 2001. And he's the first again today. Congratulations to No. 51, who at age 51, today became 1 of 1 in Cooperstown. mlb.com/news/featured/…

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg. The beloved Cubs second baseman was a five-tool model of consistency in the 1980s and early ’90s, making 10 consecutive All-Star teams and winning 9 straight Gold Glove awards. On June 23, 1984, a national TV
