If you respond to one of my tweets with "Who cares?" the answer is me. That's why I tweeted it.

Rich Hill is now the oldest player to appear in a game for the Kansas City Royals, breaking the record of this man:

Cubs pitchers in Rich Hill's 6/15/2005 MLB debut:

7,003 days ago, Rich Hill was on the mound at US Cellular Field (now Rate Field) when Michael Barrett punched A.J. Pierzynski. It was Hill's 14th MLB game.

7 players with 13+ HR in a season is tied for the most in Cubs history. It's the 7th time they have done it. Here's the list below, generated by @baseball_ref @Stathead

Rich Hill will be the oldest Kansas City American Leaguer to pitch in a game since Satchel Paige (Kansas City Athletics; 59 years old - or older? - on 9/25/1965)

Outfield

Eugenio Suarez has hit each of the Diamondbacks’ last 7 home runs That’s tied for the longest streak of a team’s homers by one player in at least the expansion era (1961), with: 8/11-20/2000 Sammy Sosa CHC 5/3-15/1979 Mike Schmidt PHI h/t @EliasSports

Best run differential since All-Star break: +25 White Sox +12 Blue Jays +12 Diamondbacks

This is Shohei Ohtani’s 5th first-inning home run as pitcher Nobody else in MLB history has more than 2

What a night in baseball. Shohei Ohtani just became the first pitcher to hit and allow a HR in the first inning of the same game since Randy Lerch did it for the Phillies in the craziest game ever. By which I mean this one ⬇️ baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN1…

The #Phillies are the first team to win a game on a walk-off catcher interference since the #Dodgers beat the #Reds on Aug. 1, 1971.

Most career HR, players who went to Plant HS (Tampa, FL) 247 Pete Alonso 143 Kyle Tucker 118 Wade Boggs 23 Preston Tucker 5 Jac Caglianone Not listed: Gallagher, whose smashed watermelon total surpasses everyone's HR total combined.

Rich Hill faced Jamie Moyer Moyer faced Steve Carlton Carlton pitched in the same game as Warren Spahn Spahn faced Satchel Paige Paige was a teammate of Bill Gatewood, who was born in 1881

Michael Busch & Anthony Rizzo both hit a leadoff homer in 2 of their 3 first career starts in the leadoff spot.

Cubs are facing the Sox this weekend... Giolito yesterday, Crochet tomorrow... This could've been a tweet from 2021.

Kyle Stowers is the first player in MLB history with 5 homers in a 2-game span including a walk-off home run h/t @EliasSports

White Sox: 8-1 win on opening day 10-1 win to start second "half" First time in franchise history (since All-Star Game started in 1933) they won by at least 7 in the first game of each "half"
