I don’t think former players always miss baseball itself.

We miss the version of ourselves that existed inside it.

The routine.
The brotherhood.
The pressure.
The purpose.
The feeling that every day had a clear mission.

I spent 17 years in professional baseball, and transitioning out of the game has taught me that retirement isn’t just a career change.

It can be an identity change.

The goal isn’t to recreate the clubhouse forever.

It’s to take the discipline, resilience, relationships, and lessons the game gave you and build something meaningful with them.

Part 2 next: what athletes actually have to rebuild when the game ends.

⚾️😁

Gotta love a weekend where I get to play in a @gobigtrain “celebrity” softball game with World Series Champion @giogonzalez47 and try on the @nationals 2019 World Series ring! #GoNats #GoBigTrain ⚾️

Thanks @gobigtrain and @jyasharoff for a great time playing to benefit the Rockville Baseball Coaches Association at Shirley Povich. Even got to see dada’s HOF plaque. For transparency I went 0-2 with a k (sorry @dcnewsnow ). Justin 3 for 3 with 3hr, @bour41 and @giogonzalez47 should’ve been in a lineup together back in the day

Today we honor the legacy of Jackie Robinson—a true trailblazer who changed the game forever.

On April 15, 1947, Robinson broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier with courage, resilience, and unmatched determination. His impact went far beyond the field, helping pave the way for equality and inspiring generations to stand strong in the face of adversity.

Let’s G-O with a @giogonzalez47 pro-issue @sluggernation glove from his time with the Oakland @athletics

Something about those classic Oakland A’s gloves just hits different. We really love the simple blackout design, especially how it pairs with the dark green laces/stitching/embroidery, modified trapeze web, split black welting, and white/black logos.

The “Yoly Cid” embroidery is a heartfelt tribute to his mother Yolanda Cid-Gonzalez, adding even more meaning to this special piece.

On the mound, Gio González was everything a team wanted in a big-game starter—competitive, crafty, and relentless. Always loved being able to watching him pitch, especially on some great @athletics @nationals & @brewers teams

Who’s next in the Nationals’ Ring of Honor? 🏟️

AJ Stone breaks down the top candidates, from Max Scherzer to Stephen Strasburg, ranking them by how close they are to enshrinement:

Max Scherzer – 99%
‘Mad Max’ dominated in DC, racking up 6 All-Star nods, 2 Cy Youngs, and a 2019 World Series ring. His 2018 season—18-7, 7.9 WAR, 300 Ks—is one for the ages.

Bryce Harper – 98%
The poster boy of Nationals baseball. Rookie of the Year in 2012, MVP & Silver Slugger in 2015. 1.109 OPS, 42 HR, 9.7 WAR—number 34 belongs in the Ring.

Stephen Strasburg – 90%
A career of electric highs and frustrating injuries, including a Cy Young-winning 2017. Strasburg left an indelible mark on DC.

Gio Gonzalez – 75%
The steady hand in the rotation, 7 seasons of consistency, 20-game winner in 2012, but underappreciated until he was gone.

Wilson Ramos – 65%
‘The Buffalo’ commanded the pitching staff for 7 seasons, 1 All-Star nod, a Silver Slugger, and a nickname we can’t forget.

From dominant aces to steady contributors, the Ring of Honor isn’t just about stats—it’s about leaving a legacy in DC.

🔥 Part 2 is coming—who else deserves a shot?
