Baker signed hundreds of orders for medically unnecessary cancer genetic tests… including ovarian and cervical cancer screenings ordered for male patients she never examined.

Baker is also the author of the children’s book series “Nola the Nurse” which aims to teach young children (primarily ages baby to 8 years) about advanced practice nursing, cultural diversity, and important social issues.

Key titles of the series include Nola The Nurse and Bax Join The Protest: An empowering story teaching kids about solidarity, love, peace, and how to stand up against hate.

Yep. He’s grinding it out on the mound without his best stuff. Still gets through 6 innings with no hits. Oh, and the lead off bomb.

Judgement Dong!

Mostly LSU memorabilia. Billy Cannon and YA Tittle signed retro helmets, replica BCS title trophies, replica Biilly Cannon Heisman trophy, all the Waterford helmets/balls from football and baseball championships, team issued shoes (what I believe team issued at least), a few pair of Nike vapor gloves from years ago.



Here are my best sports cards. My kids got me back into collecting a few years ago. Thankfully bought the Ohtanis before he went nuclear.

National viewership up and in game attendance up

After a few years out of the limelight, baseball is making a comeback. Viewership is up in a major way across the sport, with national games seeing as much as a 44 percent increase in viewers, according to Front Office Sports.

In-game attendance is reportedly up roughly 3 percent on the season, per FOS. That figure could increase in the coming weeks, as weather improves in the East and Midwest.

BCW slab bumpers. I bought them off amazon. 6 for about $20.

Ohtani can pitch but Judge is better at everything else.

Ohtani is better at winning championships too.

You seem caught up on how many decisions he has. He had 14 starts in 2025 while rehabbing from injury at the big league level. And hit 55 HRs.

Dodgers also were good enough to not need to push him deep in games either.

He also finished 4th in the cy young in 2022 when he was healthy. To say he’s never pitched and hit at the same time is a horrible take. He’s a unicorn. There’s never been anyone like him before.

Ruth was never a dominant hitter and pitcher at the same time.

Ohtani has pitched his entire career unless he was coming back from an injury that prevented him from pitching. He had a sub 3 era and hit 55 homes runs in 2025.

And he currently has the longest innings pitched streak without allowing an earned run and also at the same time he’s got the longest getting on base streak as a batter in the league.
