When a great player hits a career milestone, the respect his peers have for him usually shows. That was the case with the Yankees’ CC Sabathia, who recorded his 3,000th career strikeout Tuesday night. Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill is getting respect for a completely different reason after opening up about the tragedy of his son’s death. Elsewhere, Francisco Mejia can THROW. And baseball players still know how to have lots and lots of fun.
CC Sabathia has pitched for three teams and been well-liked and successful the whole time. A tip of the cap.
Thank you to all the fans, friends, teammates and family who have supported me. I am Blessed. pic.twitter.com/psFhWEirYB

Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill penned a column for the Players’ Tribune about losing his infant son to kidney disease five years ago. Your heart breaks reading this.

So technically this is a Major League Baseball post, but the college baseball postseason is coming soon, and these antics from Missouri’s team are too good not to share.
