Hello and happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate it, but especially to my mother.
Programming note: there will not be a recap today.
By now you likely all know the story of Drew Robinson. The outfielder in the San Francisco Giants farm system attempted to take his own life last year, but ended up surviving. He’s now on a mission to help eliminate the stigma of talking about mental health, and doing wonderful things for the world.
Despite only having one eye — the result of a self-inflicted gun wound — Robinson is still playing baseball, and the Giants assigned him to AAA Sacramento to start the year.
On Saturday — the third game of the season for the River Cats — Robinson recorded his first hit of the year, and made a gorgeous diving grab.
Drew Robinson's (@Drewrobbb) inspirational story continues as he collects his first hit since returning to baseball.

Might be the best baseball highlights I see all year.
