Folks, there have been many La Tortuga moments. He seems to produce them as prolifically as rabbits produce baby rabbits. This one ranks right up there near the top. Only the Turtle. Only our Willians. @Twins

5 months after I lost my dad, and 11 months after I lost my wife, I lost my mom, this morning. Pretty brutal 11 months for me, and my family. This one was a blessing, as my mom had been battling dementia for the last several years, and she's now with my dad. RIP, Mom.

My beloved Angel passed away, this afternoon. We knew it was coming, but not this soon. We're heartbroken and devastated. She leaves behind myself, 5 kids, and one granddaughter. Doesn't seem fair. Doesn't seem real. Doesn't seem possible. Yet, it is. Please pray for my family.

Hey @espn , ever heard of a guy named Nelson Cruz? Young fella had 2 doubles, 2 HRs, and 7 RBI today (Sunday). Might have wanted to find a way to sneak him into your graphic. I suppose you'd have had to eliminate a Yankee, though, and we can't have that. 🤡

Friends, if you can find it within you tonight, whether it's a positive thought, or a prayer, my wife can use each and every one. This cancer thing is no joke. Especially, when that cancer is aggressive and nasty. She's holding her own, but she needs every bit of your love.

I see that Tim Tebow retired from baseball. Lots of folks taking potshots and making fun of him. Why? Does his unapologetic Christianity bug you that much? He does really great things for people, off the field. I don't get the ridicule. He had a better MiLB career than Jordan.

September 9th, 1989. Angel and I devoted ourselves to one another, until death did we part. Neither of us knew that death would do so, at a relatively early age. She was the love of my life, she was the mother of our 5 beautiful kids, she was my wife and, truly, my better half.

Okay, Corona Crazies, if you could not tell my 17-yr-old son that you're going to "beat his ass", at Cub Foods, while he's trying to do his job, that would be awesome. If it had been earlier, when I was at the store, you'd have had a much bigger problem on your hands. Calm down!
