Players Only Took my 1967 film camera to game 1 of the World Series

I develop black and white film myself so I got the results quickly (kind of). I shot two rolls of color and one of slide film which I'll get back in a week or two. These were taken on my 1967 Mamiya Super 23 on Kentmere Pan 400. It produces incredible 6x9 negatives (massive) and thus I can get scans up to 7,000x10,000 pixels. I have a 24"x36" print on order and can't wait for it to arrive.

Players Only [Baseball Quotes] Jim Gasser was drafted by the Brewers in 1984, but injuries cut his career short before he could play in a professional game. 42 years later, his son Robert threw 6 shutout innings for the Brewers in Game 3 of the World Series.

Article by Adam McCalvy prior to Game 3: https://www.mlb.com/news/robert-gasser-living-his-dream-dad-s-in-2026-world-series

With World Series start, Gasser is living his dream -- and his dad's

“What a small baseball world,” Jim said on the eve of watching his son, Robert Gasser, start for the Brewers in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night at Tropicana Field, “that the team that drafted me doesn’t draft my son but picks him up in a trade, and here he is, pitching in the World Series for Milwaukee. You can’t make that stuff up.”

I go to bed far too early to watch live and try to watch first thing in the morning without spoilers but nope. It's impossible. They spoil it anyway.

In their defense, they DID actually fix it so the final score no longer flashes across on the screen when I start the broadcast replays. That embarrassing bug plagued my enjoyment of the last three World Series. You're almost there, MLB App! Maybe next year!

Rumor [Woo] Multiple Dodgers scouts and team personnel described late July as the turning point for Shohei Ohtani's worsening injuries. […] He remained bullish on returning to the mound this season, believing he only needed a few days of rest. The Dodgers believed him, too, despite his setbacks.

Excerpt:

Multiple [Los Angeles Dodgers] scouts and team personnel described late July as the turning point. Shohei Ohtani racked up an MVP-worthy first half, mashing 23 home runs with a .953 OPS as a hitter and notching a 1.79 ERA over 14 starts as a pitcher. But the left knee pain that would derail his season had already become an issue.

Ohtani skipped his final pitching start of the first half and did not play in the All-Star Game. Instead, he received a lubricant shot to alleviate the knee inflammation. He remained bullish on returning to the mound, believing a few days of rest was all he needed.

The Dodgers believed him, too, despite multiple pitching setbacks and an obvious decline on offense that correlated nearly to the date Ohtani started throwing again.

Sources within the organization, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in exchange for their candor, question the resumption of a throwing program in August, and whether it affected his overall performance or exacerbated injuries that probably could have subsided, or at least been significantly reduced, if Ohtani had simply taken some time off.
