I'll always be a fan for giving me the chance to experience something I'd been waiting years for, a Triple Crown. I did not, as a result, fully engage with the rookie out in California, but that's okay.

"How about that? They put the guy out there for a curtain call and the first ball is hit right [to him],” said Guardians manager Terry Francona. “Sometimes, maybe things work out for a reason."

It was lovely seeing the gifts he got at various stadiums on the way. Except for the A’s giving him a bottle of wine…wtf was that

I watched the highlights of his final game and was struck by how lucky we are to have these nice final moments of HOF-worthy players. I think this is something new -- what happened in Reggie Jackson's final game? Rod Carew's final game? Great players retire now and their final moments in MLB become news, with a touching send-off that people can remember forever. Jeter and Petitte made the pitching change to remove Mo Rivera from his final game, Joe Mauer came in to catch one last time ... this stuff is priceless.

I def remember that broken bat rocking chair Mariano got. Thought it was insanely cool.
