Jake Cave of the Minnesota Twins hits a two-run home run plating Nick Gordon
I have his home run swing photo as well, but it wasn’t my desktop background like this one. I’ll have to remember to post it as well (as it’s a better picture).
Kim Jin-woo (김진우 – pitcher) and Lee Bum-ho (이범호 – 3b) for the Kia Tigers back in 2013
My random, desktop image of the day was this one. I tried to get A.I. to tell me who the players are, and the results were horrible. A.I. insisted this photo is from a MLB game, even after I told it who the teams were, the location, and the date.
Traditional search methods got me the answers I was looking for. Kim Jin-woo grew up in Gwangju before playing 13 seasons with his hometown team. Lee Bum-ho slugged 329 home runs during his 20-year career in the KBO. He went zero for six on this evening, though, and the game ended in a 4-4 tie so the Tigers could have really used one.
My team and my favorite player of all time died this year. RIP. It’s a bit ironic that Henderson was “immortalized” with the naming of Rickey Henderson Field several years ago just to have both go extinct by 2025…
Rickey would have celebrated his 66th birthday two days ago.
Shohei Ohtani 大谷 翔平 @ the Oakland Coliseum (May 2022)
I pretty much lived at this place in the 1980s. Now it is gone. This was the last game I ever saw there.
This year I have paid zero attention to MLB. I couldn’t tell you who is in the playoffs or what round we are in. It’s kind of odd how something that was such a big part of your life can later become so dead to you.
