If you haven't heard about the enshittification of baseball uniforms

Okay so they're manufactured by Fanatics now, and it's not uncommon for fan replica jerseys to suck, but now the players themselves are wearing uniforms that are just as cheap. So cheap they look like bootlegs. They're flimsy and stuff that used to be actually stitched on is now just a patch or graphic

All that is bad. But there's. There's a bigger problem, with the new MLB uniforms. See if you can spot it!

Old one was in 2020.

Been feeling a little more confident in myself, so I'm comfortable with drawing boobies in bikini tops. I wonder how long it's going to take until I fall down again.

One of the funniest things in Star Trek is that baseball has completely vanished from human culture by the 24th century and Sisko is seen as something of a weirdo for being so into it, meanwhile Worf was on his school soccer team and Bashir almost became a tennis pro.

taking ‘how can you not be romantic about baseball’ to another level

"Justine Siegal, the first woman coach employed by a Major League Baseball team, is attempting to make more history -- this time by creating an American professional baseball league specifically for women. Siegal is one of the co-founders of the Women's Pro Baseball League (WPBL), which aims to begin play during the summer of 2026.

Siegel and co-founder/lawyer Keith Stein have enlisted a few other notable names as special advisors... Those include World Series-winning manager Cito Gaston and Japanese pitcher Ayami Sato, a five-time Women's Baseball World Cup champion. (Sato is also part of Japan Women's Baseball League.)

The WPBL is hoping to land a national television deal ahead of its inaugural season. The league intends to have a full season, as well as playoffs and a championship round. At present, the goal is to field six teams at launch, with those clubs located "predominantly" in the Northeast region of the United States. 

"The Women's Pro Baseball League is here for all the girls and women who dream of a place to showcase their talents and play the game they love," Siegal said as part of the WPBL's press release announcing its formation. "We have been waiting over 70 years for a professional baseball league we can call our own. Our time is now."

Stein, for his part, added: "We believe that the success of other women's professional leagues such as the WNBA and NWSL demonstrates the incredible interest and support for women's sport."

The United States has won two Women's Baseball World Cups, and most recently finished as the runners-up in the 2024 event (that was played in 2023). The U.S. team roster included, among others, pitcher/outfielder Kelsie Whitmore. Whitmore has been a trailblazer in her own right, appearing in games with various independent leagues, including the Atlantic League, Pacific Association, and, as of this year, the Pioneer League."

dodgers uninviting this iconic group of drag queens from their pride night. the mayor of anaheim personally invites them to the angels’ pride night. we absolutely love to see it…

The mayor of Anaheim has invited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to Angels Pride Night following the Dodgers disinviting the group to their own pride night, causing controversy.

The Los Angeles LGBT center and LA Pride have pulled out of the Dodgers Pride Night scheduled for June 16 after the team disinvited the Sisters of Perpetual of Indulgence, who some Catholic groups claimed was "mocking" their religion.

The Sisters were scheduled to not only attend Dodgers Pride Night, but also receive an award for their work.

The Sisters are a nonprofit that fundraises and volunteers for the LGBTQ+ community. They also sometimes dress in drag as nuns. But the group says they are not anti-religious, and that its mission is to spread joy and end hate.
