Congrats to the young King of Oakland Athletica... maybe now A-Rod will stay off his mound.

BNightengale: #mlb A heart-warming moment for the ages: Braden hugging his grandmother, who raised him, after his mother died of cancer_on Mother's Day

And of course today I had 7 pitchers starting in fantasy and only 6 spots and Braden was the guy i left on the bench 5 of them didnt win today and Lester still hasnt gone yet... UGH

[UNHWildCats]

HAHAHAHA Braden's grandmother talked to the press and said "Stick it, A-Rod."

Betty White on SNL and Grandma Braden what a weekend

A Rod chimes in "Good for him Even better that he beat the #Rays."

As my grandmother often would say, he's got a nice head of hair:

I like it - the guy talks and then backs it up. And now it allows a nice rejoinder to the crap A-Rod and his supporters pulled when they ignored A-Rod's mistake in crossing the mound by instead saying that someone like Braden can't even comment on a guy like A-Rod because A-Rod is a Hall of Famer and geez, who's this Braden guy anyway, what has he done - well, he's thrown a perfect game now, so that's nice. And probably without cheating the game with steroids like A-Rod did, too.

This happened on the FIRST day of his special 209 promotion, where folk from the 209 area code (Stockton, Lodi, Tracy, etc.) get discounted tix in Section 209. Amazing!
