I've run 30 marathons and only once did I come close to a calf cramp, at mile 23.

If you were also juggling for the full 26.2, you might have had more cramps (exactly where depending on what you were juggling).

Let me go see what I can dig up for a show off post.

Keepin it classy. Full Throwback vertical (plus city connect, which is basically throwback). Working on getting a gem on the last 150. Glad I started early!

I wonder how close his relationship is with Ichiro... Do you think he talks with him, asking advice, etc...? Reason being, was there hype or talk like our Unicorn gets for Ichiro about staying in Seattle? I wasn't paying attention during that time so I'm just curious.

Angels need a win this evening boys. Feels like the team is at an inflection point and I'm concerned about Sho's mental fortitude to continue amazing us if the team he's carried all year falls out of realistic playoff contention.

In a special Ohtani feature by NHK Japan that aired on December 2021, Ohtani revealed in an interview that he visited Ichiro's house when he was struggling during 2018 Spring Training.
Ichiro's message to him was mainly, "Believe in yourself".
Ohtani said Ichiro's words helped a lot in him turning things around.

Very fake. Should say "ROOKIE AUTO. - GOLD REF" (given the /50 serial) not "ROOKIE AUTO." on the slab. Also that barcode, while it's tough to scan given the blurry photo, 100% does NOT correspond to the certificate number.

Oh, and it's also a super common fake on Etsy (though I won't link it).
