annajarzab:

Spotify tells me that this is one of the top tracks among my friends, so I listened to it because it was like the only song on the list I hadn’t already heard (yes, I know how much people love “Call Me Maybe”—show me some different options!). I have a feeling it’ll be on repeat until my first draft of TANDEM 2 is done—possibly longer.

I just cannot get on board with this song after hearing it ten zillion times in the form of this commercial, which is kind of a bummer because it has a rad sound. Microsoft, you ruin everything.

For those of us who will forever identify “Too Close” as Danny Espinosa’s at-bat music, where it was featured LONG BEFORE crappy commercials used it, this album will ever remind us of nice days at Nats’ Park.

“

Shortly after noon on June 8, Strasburg said goodbye to his pet yorkie, Bentley, and walked out of the two-bedroom apartment he and Rachel are renting in the Virginia suburbs. They drove to the stadium together, and Rachel dropped him off.

No one who witnessed what occurred on the Nationals Park field that night will soon forget it. And that holds doubly true for Strasburg’s friends and family in attendance, a group that includes his father, Jim; mother, Kathy Swett; his in-laws, Tim and Jenny Lackey; his college coach, Gwynn, and pitching coach, Rusty Filter; a college teammate, Bubba Ruddy; and his agents, Scott Boras and Scott Chiamparino.

Also in attendance were Brett and Marybeth Lefevre and their 17-year-old son, Ryan, who served as Strasburg’s host family when he played in a wooden-bat summer league in Connecticut after his freshman year of college in 2007, and with whom he has remained close.

Once the game started, the majority of Strasburg’s entourage watched from a luxury suite, but different friends and family members, two by two, took turns occupying two pairs of seats down front, in Section 120, where the reactions were more visceral, the atmosphere even more charged.

As the innings wore on, and Strasburg began to gain strength and dominance — he struck out the last seven batters he faced, and 14 batters overall — the raw emotion began to sweep over everyone. There were tears shed in those box seats and in that luxury suite.

“We were just in awe — jaw-dropping awe,” said Marybeth Lefevre. “It was just magical, to look around at all of these people, people of every stripe, screaming and yelling for Stephen, and all the ‘Strasburg’ shirts, and the electricity. Upstairs, Gwynn was grinning ear to ear. He was like a proud father. Each person saw the same thing, but they all took something different from it because we were all from different parts of Stephen’s life.”

The glow was felt beyond Nationals Park, by people around the country watching rapt on television.

In Milwaukee that night, Bud Selig, baseball’s commissioner, watched rapt as Strasburg mowed down the Pittsburgh Pirates. “I’ve seen a lot of great pitchers,” said Selig, 75, in a telephone interview. “But there was something about this kid that was really aberrational. I mean, it was really unique. Here you have this 21-year-old kid, 10 months from signing. You had this huge buildup. And he just completely delivered. It was just remarkable. I’ve been watching baseball since the early- to mid-’40s, and I can’t think of a good analogy to this. That’s how good this was and how remarkable this was.

“It was big. I thought to myself, ‘Baseball is really back in Washington.’ “
