As a #RedSox fan, I was excited to learn when I moved to the Poconos (Pa) that Smoky Joe Wood and his family lived in the next town over and spent summers here throughout his life. I was surprised, however, to discover that the local library system didn't have any books on our local #baseball legend. So, I made sure they got one!
The score didn't wind up being too encouraging, but I still heard a lot of optimism from fans yesterday at the #RedSox home opener. Here's my conversation on @gbhnews "Greater Boston" with Adam Reilly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RuILcQ1tHQ
Baseball season is finally over and thank goodness for that. My #RedSox stunk to high heaven this year, but maybe next season will be better.
I didn’t see anyone posting about the World Series at all. Not sure what that says but this fun clip showed up in my Instagram and I just had to share it. I love plays like this, and the entire sport so much. 😅
@gedeonm I posted (my Rangers won it all, so of course I did!!), but you’re right, baseball talk was basically non-existent here. Even with several relevant hashtags, I didn’t get a single interaction on my post.
A few days before the Rangers clinched the WS, my birth country’s national rugby team won the Rugby World Cup, and I got a lot more interaction on that post (again, via hashtags).
So yes, seems like Mastodon is a baseball ghost town. 🤷🏻♂️
