Dolores Huerta spent her life advocating for the American worker, particularly for oppressed and voiceless farm workers. She was a hero without a cape. Attention must be paid. May she rest in peace. #SiSePuede

Joe Torre will be at Game 1 of the #WorldSeries tonight, just like he was in 1957 and ‘58 when he was there to watch his brother Frank play for the Milwaukee Braves.
Always a great trip down memory lane with the Hall of Famer.

Hello everyone! This is Sandra Brunson, @jalenbrunson1’s mom. Usually, I send my son a text message before every game.
But tonight he gets his championship ring!
So I wrote him this letter. theplayerstribune.com/sandra…

After delivering for the @Pirates all October long, Roberto Clemente provided the decisive hit 55 years ago today.

I never jump straight into coaching when I visit our minor league clubs.
The first thing I do is watch and listen. I call it collecting coins.
Collecting coins means learning who the players actually are.
Two parents in the house growing up? Just mom? Any mentors? Did they love school or struggle with it? What do they do when it's raining and they're stuck inside?
Because here's what I figured out after a long time in the game: before you can ever coach a man, you have to know a man.
You can have the best practice plan in baseball and lose a player completely because he never felt like you saw him as anything more than a roster spot.
Collect the coins. Know who you've got. Everything you teach lands harder once you've done that work.

RIP Fred Claire, the legendary Dodgers GM who had such a kind heart. I was blessed to let him know the impact he made on myself and so many people with lengthy text message exchange Saturday after going into hospice at his Pasadena home.

Fred Claire was one of the kindest, most honest executives I ever met in baseball, but in any sport. He was a writer at heart who covered the Dodgers and went on to craft its PR dept and the 1988 WS winners as GM. A cancer survivor, he battled. You will be missed my friend.

OTD in 2006, we mourned the death of the great Buck O’Neil.
20 years later, his spirit is still alive and his legacy plays on at the NLBM!
Today, I’ll share 20 of my favorite Buck photos! Post your fave too and tag me and the @NLBMuseumKC as we remember the SOUL OF BASEBALL!

The Mets open in New York--not in 1962 but in 1880, launching the first version of the Polo Grounds. ourgame.mlblogs.com/the-mets…

Ethan Wilson is a pro’s pro and it was my pleasure to work alongside him for 19 years with the Mets. Last week he underwent surgery and thankfully he is on the road to recovery. Send him your love and best wishes. metsinsider.mlblogs.com/etha…
