Best of luck to Brian Dozier in his retirement. Such a fun and interesting guy. He taught himself guitar & piano from scratch and learned to speak Spanish fluently. And was any ballplayer more skilled in solving a Rubik's cube? https://t.co/T5yEBQXDN5

Words don’t suffice. Like so many people, I loved working with Pedro Gomez at ESPN. He was a great teammate, and every interaction with him made it a better day. Such a loss. We’re all numb over this news. https://t.co/6VyZQTx7On

Mel Antonen will be remembered by his colleagues and peers as someone who was unfailingly upbeat and kind. He always looked for the good in people and the bright side of the story. This business can be cynical at times, and he was a rarity in that respect. Rest in peace, friend. https://t.co/ofXk06la9f

Few players in baseball were more astute or insightful on the art of hitting than Daniel Murphy. In 2018, I interviewed him for a story on left-handed hitters and the challenge of producing against infield shifts. Talk about a craftsman. https://t.co/z31C7vuU0H

After Hank Aaron's death last week, so many people reflected on how sincere, genuine and humble he was. I came across his 1982 Hall of Fame induction speech the other day. It lasted 6 minutes and 40 seconds! The Hammer wasn't one for self-aggrandizement. https://t.co/S34wgnXcuF

We've added @craigjedwards to the team at @MLB_Players. He's a brilliant guy and an insightful writer with a deep understanding of industry dynamics and analytics. He's also a big fan of "Groundhog Day'' -- which is a major plus. https://t.co/6QX6RHy9OU

There are a select few ballplayers who make time stop the moment they enter a room. Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio were that way. So are Willie Mays & Sandy Koufax. Hank Aaron was like that. Such a humble man. Yet his impact on baseball and American history were immeasurable. https://t.co/SeR454jGit

So sorry, Daron. It was always a joy seeing your dad at the park and talking ball with him. His Hall of Fame induction speech was sheer poetry. One of the best I've ever heard. @lifeisgreatsut https://t.co/tK1DOMXHpu

Long before Curt Flood changed baseball and sports by challenging the reserve clause, he drew inspiration from Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement. This year, as @MLKDay and Flood's birthday coincide, we look back at the mission they shared. https://t.co/WFaThsRxV4

Tough loss for the #Browns today. But as a fan since the Leroy Kelly-Paul Warfield days, I’ve got no complaints. They played hard every game. And I really have a sense they’re legit. A few smart roster moves, and they’ll be back.

Happy 39th birthday to one of my all-time favorites, Dontrelle Willis. @DTrainMLB

One of the greatest ambassadors for baseball we'll see in our lifetimes. https://t.co/KnZakTBHDF

This is a pretty cool sight for us long-suffering #Browns fans. https://t.co/94XOIqmAF0

I went to Trader Joe’s and a Seinfeld episode broke out. https://t.co/v8JtHbaOVh

It's almost unimaginable that we've lost Tom Seaver, Lou Brock, Al Kaline, Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford, Joe Morgan and now Phil Niekro in 2020. I know what they meant and symbolized to me as a young baseball fan. We'll all feel the void on the stage at the next HOF induction. https://t.co/D1yx0y6Big

Four players. Four teams. Four friends. Here's how @KTuck30, @big_nate5, @Bsinger51 & @WoodfordJake spent their offseason. 😎 https://t.co/iKUEpAnS2d

Bo Jackson wasn’t the only football player to make a splash on the diamond in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Future Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders stole 186 bases and brought energy and excitement to the Yankees, Reds, Braves and Giants over 641 MLB games.  #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/l2nhm2VqBN

Hall of Famer Willie Stargell was known for his tape-measure shots while hitting 475 homers over 21 seasons with the Pirates. In a 1997 interview, he shared how it feels to hit a baseball 450 feet. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/QrfPv2T7Co

Buck O’Neil was one of baseball’s most beloved figures through 73 years as a player, manager, scout, MLB coach and goodwill ambassador for the Negro Leagues. His memories and stories were a gift for generations to come. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/mEoq4zCrBI

In honor of PitchCon hosted by @PitcherList, here is an interactive timeline I have created of the Top-10 Career Strikeout (Pitching) leaders since the beginning of the Modern Era. Check out how different pitchers enter and exit through different eras of baseball #Pitchers 🔥 https://t.co/6afGPf6pdE

In 2005, the Houston Astros became the first team in 52 years to reach the World Series without a Black player on the roster. Hall of Famer Joe Morgan shared his concerns before the Series opener in Chicago. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/MWIoYw7Hmt

Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin received the Roberto Clemente Award in 1993 for his charitable efforts. His civic-mindedness was ingrained in him at an early age by his parents in Cincinnati. https://t.co/A6jRPhtMnF

We asked @TonyKemp if he'd like to honor a role model for #BlackHistoryMonth and his answer surprised us. It'll surprise Curtis Granderson, too. @cgrand3 ⚾️ @Athletics https://t.co/k9aOBw55mW

22 years cancer free today! Seems like yesterday sometimes and a lifetime ago at other times. All those that helped me in my treatment forever hold a special place in my heart. Wishing health to all players this upcoming MLB season.

Mickey Rivers stole 267 career bases and endeared himself to fans and media members in New York, California and Texas with a Yogi Berra-like array of malaprops and offbeat commentary. He was a true original. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/tyRh8aoCQd

Hall of Famer Ernie Banks was grateful for every day he spent at the ballpark. That sense of joy reappeared each spring upon arrival at camp. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/iHyVGABMWX

During a 16-year career with the Oakland A’s and four other franchises, Dave Stewart worked to help the hungry and the homeless, earthquake victims and impoverished inner-city youths. He was tireless and relentless in giving back to the community. https://t.co/89TFktmwYw
