Open Gameday Thread: The Return

Thumb_tiny by Grant on

Here at McCovey Chronicles, we're committed to an ecologically sound operation. When intros are used once for a gameday thread and discarded, they invariably end up washing out to sea, where they could damage a coral reef or poison an otter hut. Wait, otter den. Otter hole. Whatever it is that otters live in.

With this in mind, we at McCovey Chronicles strive to recycle our gameday intros over and over and over again, even if we have great new ideas that would absolutely blow you away.

Enjoy the game.

And remember, it’s baseball players. They do everything that cool people did 8-10 years ago.

Soul patch, clearly. Some ballplayers are ahead of the game.

To me, no facial hair is worse than the soul patch.

Well, I do grow facial hair but not very much. I can’t pull off any cool facial hair looks. I just look dirty.
