He spent two years out of the game, had Tommy John Surgery, was released, forged a journey back through hard work, Independent Ball, the ABL and Team Australia. Hendo earned this chance, and now he is a Major Leaguer. What a journey for Josh Hendrickson, who made his MLB debut for the Houston Astros yesterday. Read about his remarkable journey from juniors to the Majors here:baseball.com.au/news/josh-he… Aussie #41 💚💛

The Hanshin Tigers farm team are bringing back the Hanshin Jaguars uniforms for 2 series this year (3/27-29 v HIR, 7/17-19 vs ORX) This time, with the long lost Jaguars logo on the sleeve. Honestly, just fully bring this back for the minor league team, these are 🔥

Now that the Kintetsu Buffaloes hats have been re-released (albiet briefly), I'm patiently waiting for the BayStars to re-release their old hats. They haven't done it since 2019 Same with the Fighters. Need their throwback caps too. Let me give you my money, dammit.
