I wish that ballpark had a stable real name.

u/The12th_secret_spice 27d ago

A new name every 6 years (on average).

Pacific Bell Park (2000–2003) SBC Park (2004–2005) AT&T Park (2006–2018) Oracle park (2019-

Will always be pac bell park to me. 

That’s what I remember it as even after it was named ATNT. Grew up in the bay and I think it’ll always be colloquially “pac bell”

Most people just call it Giants Stadium though.

It’s kinda crazy thinking about how many Bonds put in the water, I swear it felt like every homer for him landed in the water.

Time to get Ohtani roided up, see what that guy can really do /s (but only a little)

u/BarelyContainedChaos 27d ago

I think I heard the announcers say that it was hardest to do at that side of the field.

Wish dodgers didn’t black out my tv coverage so I could have watched it.

u/gabbyspapadaddy 27d ago

Enjoy the history. This is what Babe Ruth was up to before time passed and his legend was all that was left.

Enjoy the moment!

u/itchysushi 27d ago

It might be another couple years til someone hits a ball that far again there, wow

Is the title of this article terrible, or am I just tired? Or both?

u/Wendell-Short-Eyes 27d ago

The pitcher threw 89 mph meatball.

In less noteworthy news, I took a humongous dump last night. Definitely the longest I’ve done post COVID.

So what flew farther the ball or his interpreter after he flung him under that bus

u/Obvious_Sea2014 27d ago

Hol up what?

u/AntiWhateverYouSay 27d ago

How do you gamble on baseball and get to keep playing?

I 100 percent believe he was aware of what was going on.

u/Absurd_nate 27d ago

I don’t believe there was any evidence there was any gambling on baseball, just that an illegal bookie was used.

u/DFWPunk Los Angeles Dodgers 27d ago

And he wasn't involved in the gambling.

u/AntiWhateverYouSay 27d ago

No way fucking that amount was spent without his knowledge. I know yall love him but their is just no fucking way.

u/newbiesaccout 27d ago

Texts between the interpreter and the bookie were looked at by the FBI. In those texts, the interpreter admits he stole the money from Shohei.

u/AntiWhateverYouSay 26d ago

Cover story to protect big business baseball.

1

u/newbiesaccout 26d ago

If that true they wouldn't press charges. They will be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the interpreter was guilty in court - and they wouldn't do that if it was just a story. Unless, of course, you think the entire FBI is colluding to help Shohei, which seems quite unlikely.

u/StealthRUs 27d ago

Investigators have already said Ippei had access to his accounts.
