And the board's very own Tim Livingston gets a pull quote in the article!! Just looking at the kid's linescore, he had a hell of a night. And he did it on 140 pitches, so he worked for it.

 

Tim, if you read this, I would love to know what you thought of his stuff, any chance this kid moves into someone's system anytime soon?

Attention Pete, Tim and others:

Murakami lives in Japan and rarely makes autograph appearances. But this summer, he will be in the U.S. for an eight-city tour to publicize the publication of his English-language biography – penned by yours truly – called Mashi: The Unfulfilled Baseball Dreams of Masanori Murakami, the First Japanese Major Leaguer. You can meet Mashi, listen to his stories about his time in the big leagues and pick up a rare autograph (a small fee will be charged for signing items other than the biography).

Warning: that link will take you down the rabbit hole of awesome KBO clips. Makes me want to see a game or two there.

I am all about the Hartford Yard Goats because a:the name and b:they are using the Whalers colors as an homage.

 

Their mascots were revealed today, and they are fucking glorious.

The Camden Riversharks of the Atlantic League officially move to New Britain and will be known as the New Britain Bees. They will play in the Rock Cats old stadium.
