Ben Williamson is the first former @RainiersLand to have a walk-off hit in the #WorldSeries since Scott Podsednik (w/ TAC from 2001-02) hit a walk-off HR for the Chicago White Sox in Game 2 of the 2005 Fall Classic!

If there was a Mount Rushmore of ball writers, Ross Newhan would be on it. He was a giant in the biz, a Hall-of-Famer who spent much of his 43-year career covering @MLB for the LA Times. He was a mentor to myself and so many others, a friend to all. Ross died today at 89. RIP💔

For some reason I'm reminded of the time the Tacoma Rainiers won *a playoff game* because an opposing player tossed a live ball in the crowd
