Straight Legend

National League fans in New York really got hosed. Lost the Giants and the Dodgers and got the Mets as consolation

Blame Robert Moses lol. He built many eye sores here in NYC and those eye sores displaced many black and brown folks.

Actually insane but what an awesome story

To keep it short the wife never had a visa until they got married last year

Graterol has a similar story last year. Mom never saw him pitch in the majors. Don't watch if you don't feel like crying

Royce Lewis is a monster. 9 HRs in only 15 games played.

I put money on him winning MVP before the season only for him to get hurt a few innings into the first damn game, but now I'm cocking my head a bit at the prospect of him jumping into that race. Regardless...stud!

Dude has the Buxton curse. Plays at MVP level just always hurt it feels like.

So far, yeah, but gosh I hope not anymore. Health from here on out and he's one of the best hitters in the game.

Good read

As honorific and cool as it's been to see this Negro League tribute and Willie Mays homages, these stories and firsthand accounts have been depressing as hell.

Bless all the forebears and heros of yesteryear who had to live through it every day of their lives

Using Barry Bonds to promote this game but snubbing him from the HOF is nasty work

This is the best sports broadcast Fox has presented in probably 30 years, if not ever.

Really impressed by everything tonight, from the Reggie interview during pre-game to all of the details about the park, the stories about the Negro League players and teams, the retro production for that half inning... just everything has been great.

They don't have to pay Pat McAfee and SAS a kings ransom so they can afford to actually invest in top-tier production and briadcast value

The whole thing has been really cool though and the league and FS1 have done great jobs with it

 

[g-time]

their broadcast of the field of dreams games have been pretty solid.

I remember posting last season or before how the MLB could really be onto something with the game for the little leaguers in Williamsports and Field of Dreams, but want more....well, another great idea tonight. Need them to keep repeating these games every season and keep adding. Perfect traditions that can ONLY be unique to baseball.
