I'm a lovely graphic designer for a huge corporate HQ and every week I have to make a banner like this to recognize someone on the janitorial staff for going above and beyond the call of duty.

The award is called the "Sweeping Success!". The prize is you get to wear a sticker for a week. Said sticker has a smiling, happy broom on it.

Anyway, I feel like I can relate to the guy who had to make this graphic, on a personal level.

Barry Zito is baseball's version of the retired guy who took up a job as a janitor right now, so it's basically the same thing.

Last night Andrew Cashner became the first pitcher in MLB history with 10 or more hits and 10 or more K's in less than five innings of work. Tonight, in the same series, for the other team, Noah Syndergaard became the second.

Well, he was brought in as part of a double-switch so it wasn't technically a pinch grand slam, but yeah I agree 100% with the rest of this.

McClendon running over to third base just so he could yell at Randazzo individually was the best part of that game last night.

EDIT: Followed very closely by the absolute wave of profanity that CC unleashed when he fielded that bunt.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?
Bryce saw a fan last night trying to take a selfie with him in the background, asked for the phone, snapped a selfie and threw it back.

I think he was a couple of years older and played with or against Gallo or Harper's brother? They played against each other in high school.

Just a little bit of talent in that area back then.

e: Yeah Bryant played with Gallo's older brother. They both played with Harper but apparently not at the same time.

Weren't they like 8 or 9 then? Granted I wasn't good enough to play on a travel team then, I don't remember the kids that were skilled playing travel ball until like 11 or 12. Nine years old was the first kid-pitch level in my LL.

(Although starting age 10 we got to keap out jerseys. Ages 10-12 were all "one" league. You did a try-out and you literally got "drafted" onto a specific team for which you played the next 3 years. Coaches could assign 10 or 11 year olds to the upper or lower team and 12 year olds were automatically upper)
