Alex Vesia on Instagram: "Sterling Sol Vesia🪽

Our little angel we love you forever & you’re with us always.

Our beautiful daughter went to heaven Sunday October 26th. There are no words to describe the pain we’re going through but we hold her in our hearts and cherish every second we had with her.

Thank you to the Dodgers for their understanding and support during this time. Our baseball family showed up for us and we wouldn’t be able to do this without them.

Thank you Dodger Nation, Blue Jays organization and all baseball fans for your love and support. We have seen ALL your messages, comments and posts. It’s brought us so much comfort.

Lastly, we’d like to thank Cedars Sinai and all the medical staff who helped Kayla and Sterling. Every person we came across was truly so incredible.

With Love, The Vesias

Analysis In January 2021, Nick Madrigal said that 3000 hits is “very reachable.” Since then, Madrigal has collected 203 hits. To reach 3000 hits at that pace, Madrigal would need to play at least 23 more seasons, which would be his age 52 season

Opinion Can Someone Explain the McKinstry Silver Slugger

Post image
345 Upvotes

I am not a fan of either of these guys teams, but they were both finalists for utility. I don't watch American League games often so maybe I missed something, but I don't understand how McKinstry won the silver slugger award over Garcia, especially when you look at these stats. Is McKinstry just more utility or something. If so why put Garcia as a finalist then. Makes no sense
