Wow! Shohei Ohtani signs a ball for a Nagasaki atomic bomb survivor!

Imagine all the things any centenarian has seen, especially this one!

1. She would have been

about 18 or 19 at the time of the bombing to end WWII.

2. Ah, I'm watching the game without volume and wondered why they cut away to her...

Again and again.

Thanks.

3. You generally prefer the games without commentary,

or just the Dodgers' talking heads?

[Brother Buzz]

4. Um, I got two games going on

The Rays/Pirate game is into extra innings.

That being said, baseball is a self explanatory game, no?

5. It's easy enough to follow

but good commentators can provide additional insights and trivia that most viewers would not be aware of. If they're not abrasive personalities, I prefer watching games with commentary audible.

6. The best commentary, bar none, are SF Giants announcers....

Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow; they’ve been playing tag team for decades and know and share the game on a whole bunch of levels. Jon Miller does radio, and he learned the game listening to Russ Hodges, just like me.

Wow, the Pirates tied up the game again 6-6, and it’s rolling into the twelfth inning!

8. You got two extra-inning games yesterday!

Giants prevailed in 12 innings.

What do you think of these "City Connect" uniforms? I'm generally not a fan. I wouldn't even have known it was the Nationals on the field with the Giants in those blue jerseys. Just pure revenue is what it's about, IMO.

9. I watched three extra-inning games.

I follow the box scores across the board, religiously, and noticed the White Sox and the Athletics were tied in the tenth. The Athletics won in the eleventh.

I’m a dyed-in-the-wool SF Giants fan, but I’ve been warming up the the Athletics since they moved to West Sacramento, but if I attended a game at Sutter Health Park, I would choose a River Cats game (Giants aaa farm team) over the Athletics.

7. Wow, she'll have quite a souvenir.....

...when she gets old........
