When Doby signed his MLB contract in 1947 it was 2 pages. We can only imagine today’s contracts are a LOT longer. Any one have any idea of the average length of an MLB contract these days?

We’ve always tried to stay out of political discourse w this acct. But we’re not staying quiet today. HR1 has too many hurtful & destructive elements. We ask ALL reps to stand up for what YOU believe. Don’t be bullied into voting yes. Be proud tmw for standing up for the people.

Interviewing Monte Irvin for our film was special. DYK Branch Rickey considered Monte to break the color barrier? Monte had to serve in Europe during WWII so the timing didn’t work out. #baseball #monteirvin #negroleagues

All Star fans.. understand the cheering loudly for your hometown guys. But, booing the rivals and barely applauding for the other players feels crappy. These are the All Stars who the fans chose. At least the players are wearing their team jerseys again. #MLBAllStarGame2025

Minnie Miñoso played pro baseball in 7 decades!!!!!!! When we interviewed him he was in his 80s and still probably would’ve stepped into the box if they’d let him. #cubancomet #mrwhitesox #nycubans

If you’re just discovering the Negro Leagues legacy, there were 3 women who played full time in the Negro Leagues. Toni Stone, Mamie Johnson and Connie Morgan. Toni was the first. She was born 104 years ago today. Here’s a fun photo we found of her online. #nostoppingher

Learned from a friend who is driving for Uber while looking for his next executive level job that 90% of passengers do NOT tip. I was shocked. Do you tip your Uber or Lyft driver? We can't see who votes yes or no, please be honest #rideshare
