Good morning, baseball fans!
Have you ever had a moment where something called you old without saying that directly? Because that’s how I felt when reading this news about Houston Astros relief pitcher Forrest Whitley.
Chandler Rome of The Athletic posted on the app formerly known as Twitter announcing that Whitley was changing his jersey number to 55. This is in honor of his life-long favorite baseball player, former San Francisco Giants starting pitcher and Forever Giant Legend Tim Lincecum.
I have conflicting feelings about this. Mostly, I love it.
