“Rare to hit one out.” Not if you’re taking steroids.

Very cool.

All those guys took a knee in a good way.

I hope none of them ever take the other kind.

[Wow, rare for Dee to hit one out!]

It’s his first one this year.

They all all wearing jersey’s with Fernadez’s #16 and will retire #16 after tonight.

Not likely.

Was watching the pre-game and the at bat.

He was crying before he got to second base . . . and so was I. Can’t write a script like that without people calling it impossible.

Incredibly poignant start to the Marlins vs Mets game. A group of emotionally broken young men reaching into their depths to make it through nine innings. Dee Gordon's HR was amazing. Let's call that some divine intervention.

Hat tip to Colon and the Mets for their empathy toward the Marlins' pain.

Gotta appreciate the symbolism of the tributes in baseball. The Marlins special black jerseys--fresh from the factory, each emblazoned with the name Rodriguez and #16--didn't arrive today until after the Marlins had finished BP.

Jose Rodriguez' amazing life story will be a movie before we can count to 16.

That was very cool.

Not to put a damper on it but I can’t help but thinking the pitcher purposely gave him a meatball over the heart of the plate.
