They tell you nothing is guaranteed until the ink is dry.
Well, the ink on Manny Machado‘s love for his wife, Yainee, has not only dried, but it’s also about as permanent as it gets.
The Baltimore Orioles third baseman had her portrait tattooed and shared a photo to Instagram on Monday. It fills the majority of the available real estate on the inside of his right forearm, featuring a blossoming flower.

A little snow couldn’t keep Carlos Correa from America’s pastime. Not even a lot of snow—like the “up to 30 inches” kind—could.
The Houston Astros shortstop took Winter Storm Jonas (aka the massive blizzard sweeping the East Coast) head-on Saturday, sharing a video of himself playing baseball atop the fresh blankets of snow covering the streets and surrounding areas of New York City.
Call it love, passion, dedication—whatever you want. Just promise not to try it at home, folks.

The right-hander kept the joke up for five hours before finally following it up with another photo, writing a sly “Just kidding”:
Very funny, Noah. Just keep our hearts in mind before you pretend to break them next time.

When Ken Griffey Jr. received the call he had been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Wednesday, it was pretty casual.
His response? A simple “Thank you.”
Griffey received the call about his record-setting 99.3 percent vote (437 out of 440 ballots) while leaning over an island in his kitchen with Jack O’Connell of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on speakerphone.

The new year may have just kicked off, but Bartolo Colon wasted no time jumping in.
The right-hander is already working to make the most of the $7.25 million deal the New York Mets struck with him to bring him back for one more season.

According to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Dodgers ace Zack Greinke opted out of his contract Wednesday, becoming a free agent and opening the door for bigger money—and apparently a free bus pass, courtesy of L.A. Metro.

Surefire plan, L.A. Metro. Well done.
