SUNDAY is FUNDAY
A day of games and music
Sundays are filled with games on Billy-Ball. Today we have a Wordle, an anagram, a mash-up, a quick true-or-false quiz, an SNL highlight, the Sunday Funnies, and lots of holiday music. Subscribers will have a great time today, and they deserve it.
I’m always looking for more games to share, so if you have one, let me know.
I love reading your comments.
We open with this song, and we close with it as well.
BILLY-BALL WORDLE
You’re invited to play a puzzle created by BILLYBALL.
The clue is: “Noun and baseball pronoun.”
MURAKAMI TO THE WHITE SOX
The White Sox have reached an agreement on a two-year, $34 million contract with Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand today. Murakami was the most feared slugger in Japan, where he became one of NPB’s biggest superstars over his eight seasons with the Yakult Swallows.
Murakami has hit 246 home runs since his NPB debut as an 18-year-old in 2018. He had five 30-homer seasons for the Swallows, and he averaged 45 home runs per 162 games played. In his NPB career, Murakami posted a .270/.394/.557 slash line with a .951 OPS in 892 games.
However, Murakami’s strikeout totals and swing-and-miss rates have spiked since his monster 2022 season, and his defense is suspect, as when a ball is hit to him (he plays both third and first), you can suspect he may make an error.
I’m looking forward to seeing how this all shakes out.
