Total runs scored:
2006: 23,599 runs
2016: 21,744 runs
2026: 21,769 runs
Check out the XBH totals per year other than the HR.
So with with less homers and more singles, doubles, and triples, there were 1,830 more runs scored 20 years ago.
Yes pitchers are better, but 9000 strikeouts better?
2026 k’s vs 2006 k’s

On Easter, A.D. 33, the superficial image of the Resurrection of Jesus was created on the Shroud of Turin. It would take 34,000 BILLION watts of energy, traveling at 1/40th of a billionth of a second to change the chemical makeup of a fine-linen shroud to leave the image that it did. We do not have that type of power on Earth.
The Shroud of Turin is only .02 microns thin, and can be scrapped off with a knife, and science has proven it is not paint, pigment, die, and there are no brush stokes. What is most absolutely fascinating is that there is Type-AB blood all over the shroud. Which is a priestly line of blood, which is only 6% of the world's population and connected to Jesus.
There is also a criminologist by the name of Max Fry who took pollen samples from the Shroud of Turin. He found 58 pollens on the shroud. 38 of them are from Jerusalem that only bloom in spring time during Passover. The last remaining 20 pollens follow the provenance of where the Shroud of Turin has been for the last 2000 years.

Nate Ament: "It's one of the reasons I chose Tennessee because of Coach Barnes and his faith. ... as a team, you're trying to glorify something bigger than yourself. And, ultimately, something that is Jesus Christ and is God can only lead to good things. When you're playing for something other than your own glory and the glory of others, the glory of your teammates, the glory of Christ, only good things can happen from there if you're being selfless and trying to take care of each other."

“I wish at [my player’s] age, I would’ve gone much deeper into a relationship with Jesus Christ… To me, the most important thing is to God with all my heart, soul, & mind.”

Officially more affordable to go watch Paul Skenes vs Elly De La Cruz than watching 13U baseball.

Upset: Despite being 21 1/2-point underdogs to the country’s No. 22-ranked team, UAB upset Memphis, 31-24, to give Alex Mortensen his first win in his first game as a head coach. Incredible.

UAB firing Trent Dilfer was inevitable. Hiring him was a mistake from the start. There's a much larger issue with @UAB_Athletics. When is someone going to hold @UAB_AD Mark Ingram accountable?

Can we please get someone that sees that the ball was moving before Allen officially punches it out? Watch it again with that thought process and tell me if you agree?

When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: “That man… that young man… I forgive him.” That moment deeply affected me. I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: “ I forgive the man who killed my father.”
Peace be with you all.

“I shouldn’t be held accountable for a grown man’s athleticism..”

Murray State HC Dan Skirka (@dskirka) on leading the Racers to their first College World Series:
“We may not have as many advantages as some other programs … We focus on what we do have, and that’s really great people.”
It’s been a recipe for success ⚾️

Turns out, zero girls could get a single run yesterday, in 14 innings, even though they (Rogers) were defending State champs.
Male advantage.
Doing its thing in Minnesota.
And girls getting shutout of State Tournament.

Almost 1,100 days… this journey has molded me and I’ve smiled through most of it, but boy have there been some days where I never thought I’d get there.
To anyone that feels defeated - don’t ever give up. God has you in that journey for a reason. Failure is a beautiful thing

You win the first National Championship, in any sport, in school history. Go to a Regional final last year. Then get fired mid season the following year?
They should’ve built a statue of Chris Lemonis. He did something no one has ever done @HailStateBB . To fire him mid season is an absolute joke.
