I am still in Pullman Washington and I am in love with the Northwest.

A-Rod hit a homer for hit #3,000. I explain proper etiquette for catching a home run ball. But I make an exception for the guy who caught A-Rod’s homer.

It is a living in the past present and future Episode 968 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Buster Posey, Joe Ross, Albert Pujols, Phil Hughes, Chris Sale, Jacob deGrom, Stephen Vogt and Anthony Rizzo all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball?
