You may know that nonprofits get to run many of the concession stands at Petco Park for Padres games and other events and they get a cut for their orgs. You may not know one of the most prominent, Chula Vista Fast Pitch, doesn’t exist.

The other day I wondered how the city got its Sports Arena land. TIL the federal government built 3500 homes there for low cost housing (👀) for defense workers. The city bought it and kicked them out. Thanks @sdut .

So great. They gave Ha-Seong Kim the silent treatment after his first HR and then mobbed him.

I cut my son's hair last night, missed the Tatis homer, and screwed up so bad I just had to buzz it mostly and he cried for an hour and is refusing to take off his hat. How was your Friday night?
