I'm friends of a friend with Angels C Logan O'Hoppe, a Long Island kid and really great guy.

Glad to see he's getting some recognition and I hope lots of votes.

I amn't sure this should be voted on and campaigned and such.

It probably helps expose the players' efforts but there are other ways they can do that.

Like Francisco Lindor, Liam Hendricks is a multiple-time nominee. Except he has been nominated SEVEN times.

Each of the previous three years — 2022, 2023, and 2024 — the league has promoted Hendricks' advocacy, outreach, and support for the LBTQ+ community.

This year, they elected to eliminate that (exceedingly large) folder in his citizenship portfolio.

That deserves an angry emoji.

I guess Manfred wants to stage a game in the new White House ballroom next year.
