This is a list of things that I want to try out on the new baseline theme.

Here are five great MLB first basemen and what made each of them especially interesting:

1. Lou Gehrig – The "Iron Horse" of the Yankees, famous for his durability, humility, and tragic early retirement due to ALS, which now bears his name.

2. Albert Pujols – A modern legend known for his all-around hitting, consistency, and longevity, finishing with over 700 home runs.

3. Willie McCovey – Towering lefty slugger for the Giants, feared for his monstrous power and iconic presence in the batter’s box.

4. Keith Hernandez – Brilliant defensively, redefining how first base was played with range, quickness, and leadership—also a memorable personality.

5. Frank Thomas – “The Big Hurt” dominated the ‘90s with his intimidating size and incredible hitting eye, combining power with patience.

Thanks for listening, this has been a test!
