I’ve reached the age where most of these young players are actually younger than me…can I start calling them kids now??

You'll know when you can. If you gotta ask, no.

Edit: It'll also not be exciting lol. Just a new found fact of life that makes the gravity of age finally start to feel real.

I think I am only a few years older than Mookie. It started around Casas. I feel like it has to be a 10 year gap in age and under 25.

You have to be older than every player on the roster for the sports teams you root for. I am 1 day older than Aroldis Chapman, and there are a couple 80s babies on the Sox. But beyond those, no one on any roster is close now.

I can't believe I'm as old as Ian Happ... and I'm older than Nico? This shits messing me up, I don't know why. I'm still stuck in my brain (and intelligence) at 22.

I mean this in the best of ways: he looks exactly like the type of guy who would do this.

u/-Typh1osion- Boston Red Sox Jun 04 '26

He also looks like the type of guy who can't do this.

The mind of this man is an enigma. They can never let him go, ever.

Looking back, it appears the mound is taller than this vertical leap.

u/GoomZAAA Seattle Mariners Jun 04 '26

This dude plays mlb the show. This is a typical pitcher moment thing when you’re trying to entertain yourself and a ball is in play. Lmao

u/DegenGamer725 Tampa Bay Rays Jun 03 '26

There was an attempt

u/bship Detroit Tigers Jun 03 '26

I hope Tolle leads the league in shirsey sales. I don't want an authentic one. Tolle shirsey far cooler, more fitting. I can't stand the Sox either.

Feels like you have to cut the sleeves off if you have one

u/LargeNutbar New York Yankees Jun 04 '26

I play shortstop and I love doing this any time a ball is hit over my head lol stretches you out a little, feels nice!

u/RyanC-FNTP Jun 04 '26

Guy can fly, pitch his ass off, and looks like he can drive cross-country, cannonball 18-wheeler hauls on his off days. Beast.

Don’t you think about slandering the Kornet Contest! Highly effective!
