Any thoughts on the ballot? Leyland and Piniella are the obvious choices for me. Torn on Cito Gaston--I loved the Blue Jays run in 92 and 93. Is that enough for the Hall of Fame? mlb.com/news/contempor…

I had another short story published today. Check out "The Dance Eternal" at 𝘒𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘢𝘪: 𝘎𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵 & 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 here: kaidankaistories.com/july-2024/july…. It's also released in a podcast here: spreaker.com/episode/ep-270….

A crash in the night. A trail of celery, carrots, and bok choy. But that's not the worst of it--run, before the zombie gets your "Braaains!" (Or maybe poor 𝘝𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘻𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘦 is just misunderstood.) #PitDark #PB #CH #ZH

Another crash. A creepy silhouette in the garden. Is it a pig? Is it a vampire? No, it's a 𝘏𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦. Grab your stake. Time to defend yourself. (I said "stake," not "stake"--a delicious meal won't stop him!) #PitDark #PB #CH

Yet another crash. Will these monsters never leave Quinn alone? Now there's a ghost stomping around the yard. Follow the grunting. Follow the footprints. Wait a minute--that's no ghost. It's a 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘰𝘶! #PitDark #PB #CH

A crash in the night. The fridge is open, vegetables all over the place. A moan. Run--a zombie! And don't trip over the mess in the garden (who's been tearing it up?). Wait. Is he really a threat? Maybe not--he's 𝘝𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘻𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘦. #PitDark #PB #CH #ZH

Another crash in the night. Not another monster...it's a vampire! No, those pointy ears give it away. It's a 𝘏𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦! Throw some garlic at him! Grab a stake! (No, that's a steak...now you're just feeding him.) #PitDark #PB #CH

Yet another crash in the night. Quinn and his sister investigate. What kind of ghost is running around the yard, grunting and tearing up the lawn. There's only one possibility. It's no ghost at all--it's a 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘰𝘶! #PitDark #PB #CH
