Around the league...
- Somehow I missed this unique story on Padres rookie Logan Allen, but it’s definitely worth your time.
Tonight, @Logan__Allen earns his dollar from @JohnCena as he makes his Major League debut.

- To put things into perspective...
Last night, Logan Allen became the 19,522nd player to appear in the Majors. That number always blows my mind. You could take every big leaguer ever and they wouldn’t fill half of most stadiums. Heck of a club.
