May 20th 2026: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Yankees - Virtual Gratitude Circle

Take a break from the doomy side of the web and join the gratitude circle, inspired by Kazuma Okamoto.

Before (and during) the game, drop something you’re grateful for, baseball-related or not.

Ground Rules for the Circle:

* Keep it positive. This is a no-negativity zone.
* No player bashing, doom-posting, or hot takes here.
* Respect everyone’s contributions (even if it’s simple).
* One gratitude per comment (you can post more, just keep it clean).

I’ll start:

I’m grateful for my apartment. It’s not perfect but it’s mine!
