The vibes are good in KC. Finished a perfect 7-game homestand vs the White Sox and Astros today. Makes my job easy.
Baseball is back and I’m a happy lil clam, getting to make photos of it. #GoRoyals

Kids can’t go to school.
Believers can’t go to church.
Families can’t go to the grocery store.
Friends can’t go to a concert.
And now fans can’t go to a SUPER BOWL PARADE without the real fear of being a part of a mass shooting in America. WHAT ARE WE DOING?

No work recap this year. Been taking a lot of time to recharge lately. Books were a big source of joy this year, so here’s that recap/my favs instead.
I’ve been a Rangers fan my whole life. Born and raised in Dallas, watched the 2011 WS heartbreak while surrounded by Cardinals fans in Columbia, Mo… this feels so good. Congrats, boys. Texas forever 🤠💙❤️
YEE EFFIN’ HAW 😭🤠🥹🫶🏻⭐️

Bobby Witt Jr. is one of five players in Major League history to record a combination of 30 homers and 49 steals in a season, joining Eric Davis (1987), Barry Bonds (1990), Mike Trout (2012), and Ronald Acuña Jr. (2023).
He's the seventh player to record a 30/30 season in his age-23 season or younger, following Bobby Bonds (1969), Jose Canseco (1988), Alex Rodriguez (1998), Mike Trout (2012), Ronald Acuña Jr. (2019), and Julio Rodríguez (2023).
He is the sixth 30/30 player to play at least 75% of his games at shortstop, following Barry Larkin (1996), Alex Rodriguez (1998), Jimmy Rollins (2007), Hanley Ramírez (2008), and Francisco Lindor (2023).
He is now the sixth American League player in the last 75 years with a 30-homer, 10-triple season, following Joe DiMaggio (1950), Mickey Mantle (1955), Jim Rice (1977 and 1978), Nomar Garciaparra (1997), and Curtis Granderson (2011).
