Daniel Schneemann, Cleveland Guardians, and his connection to Babe Ruth:

Schneemann, 28, had been kicking around the minor leagues for six years before he got his chance in The Show with Cleveland. After struggling at the plate for half of April, he does this.

Hadn't happened in 106 years.

Trivia like this is priceless. And a big reason we love baseball.

You’re right, Auggie, baseball trivia can be a beautiful thing.

My son the prize German student says the German “Schneemann” translates to “Snowman” in English.

So in our house he is called The Snowman.

We’ll only get better when these two guys return, which should be soon:

RHP Shane Bieber (elbow surgery): Bieber has completed his bullpen progression and will begin pitching in live batting practice sessions in early May.

UTL David Fry (elbow surgery): Six months after reconstructive elbow surgery, Fry has progressed into hitting activity and has not suffered any setbacks. The Guardians anticipate Fry will begin a game progression in early May.
