Former baseball star Joseph Patrick Mauer is tracking above 80% on public ballots for the Baseball Hall of Fame, indicating a strong possibility of him being inducted on his first ballot. Should he miss out this time, his induction next year seems almost certain. In other sports news, the Missouri Tigers celebrated a significant victory in their biggest bowl game since 1970, defeating the Ohio State Buckeyes 14-3. This win marks the Tigers' 11th of the season, a noteworthy achievement given the difficulty of maintaining an undefeated record at Ohio State before succumbing to two University of Michigan teams consecutively. A bet of $81K on the Buckeyes -4.5 was lost. Meanwhile, in the digital collectibles space, 5 ALIENFRENS were swept for 0.69 ETH, equivalent to 1,573.74 USD, on the Opensea platform via Blur. Additionally, there have now been 52 million inscriptions on Bitcoin, with one user highlighting the inscription of a taco drawing by his daughter as number #5557.
huh. TIL (thanks, @CommunityNotes!) that this clip isn't what it pretends to be; it's actually cropped from a movie, 'Force Majeure', Magnolia pictures, 2014 (https://t.co/w3uWGSQYDW). https://t.co/1RolvWwEeL

Mizzou’s biggest bowl game since Jan. 1, 1970, results in a win over Ohio State. Quite a season for the Tigers with 11 wins.
This is not our final House model (it is close, but it's not done), but this is what happens when so many candidates still haven't announced or reported any financial information yet. You get all types of tiny oddities. https://t.co/SotVUBPBpZ
The fumble is confirmed and Mizzou gets the ball in prime position to milk the clock.
Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune 2’ is doin’ all right now that Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya get to lock nose plugs in the new trailer. The sand planet’s only hope arrives March 1, 2024. Here's what we know about the upcoming sand-based film so far: https://t.co/hnoTI1Nge2
There have now been 52 million inscriptions on Bitcoin. It's amazing to me that I managed to inscribe this taco my daughter drew as #5557 lol https://t.co/BbjnI0of1b
Do people understand how hard it is to go 11-0 at Ohio State and then lose to two UMs in a row? John Cooper didn’t even do that

A great summary, and a spot on final sentence from @Femi_Sorry here, which absolutely sums up these completely immoral supposed ‘leaders’ of our country. https://t.co/PMIdpuvyQ3

Joe Mauer is solidly above 80% on public ballots so far. Becoming more and more realistic that he could be a first-ballot Hall of Famer and he's basically assured of getting in next year if he narrowly misses this time. https://t.co/7L48aPYwpO
