Messing around with my favorite 80s rookie cards to use their Fleer and / or Donruss photo on the Topps design...

Yesterday was the anniversary of one of my favorite baseball moments. That 23-22 Phillies game featured a relief pitcher (Donnie Moore) hitting a 1st inning triple. A lot has to happen to get a relief pitcher to the plate in the 1st. Love it. www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CH...

Finishing touches on the team set to give the little league team I coach. I hope they enjoy it half as much as I do.

Happy 72nd birthday to George Brett. Maybe deserves a spot on the 3B Mt Rushmore. Royals scouting report on him hinted that he smoked weed “I like his actions on the field. May have ‘hippy’ problem”

My autographed Pete Rose Hall of Fame plaque postcard is closer to being a real thing. (Although I’m not sure how I feel about it)

I didn’t speak of this. I didn’t see it previously… Just 5 minutes ago I thought about how I’d booked Tommy Conwell to perform and he had to cancel (maybe 10 years ago now) Open up FB and this is near the top of my feed. The algorithm in me.

It’s CRAZY how much traction this got today. I was simply providing some surprising numbers. A sample of the replies I got today regarding a 6 year old factual tweet:

Daughter has struggled hitting this year. Had no hits (many walks) through the first 6 games. She was really pressing. Yesterday she went 4-4. Little brother is behind to backstop. His excitement for her success is the best.

Last year I began making sets for my son's teams. I get Topps/Bowman packs to rip, a team set, and a double of their own card in a one-touch. I like the idea that their card matches the ones they just ripped. I know they like it. I think I love it. Here are the 3 examples of my son's cards:

Has the orange guy claimed credit for an American pope yet?

Larry Bird, career 649 3P / 1727 3PA / 897 games Steph Curry, playoff career 650 3P / 1637 3PA / 155 games

Charles “Chief” Bender was born on this day in 1884. MLB debut 1903 Inducted to HOF 1953 With Bobby Shantz living, we still have a chance at firsthand accounts of Bender and Connie Mack. Shantz played for both with the A’s. Amazing.

He’s pitching against 9-11yo (he turned 9 yesterday) Came in today with the bases loaded and no outs. Struck out the side and stranded the runners. Stud.

How many seasons to career coaching wins record - if you go undefeated every year NHL - 30.41 (Bowman 2,494 wins) MLB - 23.03 (Mack 3,713) NFL - 20.41 (Shula 347) NBA - 17.22 (Pop 1,412)

9 years ago last night - we’re expecting our son to be born in the coming weeks. Don’t have a name yet. On way to Target wife wants my suggestions. “I can’t get Ryan James out of my head” Buy a pack of cards and get this Ryan James Howard card (not very rare / not very common)

5 years ago today The Last Dance was on and we were on lockdown, so used the time to recreate some Jordan moments with my kids. This was my favorite

You probably know the story if you follow me on that other site. 8 years ago my daughter was 3 and had a stay in the hospital (she’s all good). All she wanted to do when she got out was say hi to Odubel Herrera. I bought tickets close to the dugout and she waited for him…

My son is still just 8 years old. He can really freaking bring it with accuracy. I always knew I’d love having a catch with my kids. I never knew it would be like this. I’m in awe every time.

Brandon Marsh has 4 hits in 51 plate appearances this season

(Wife driving in heavy trafiic and we’re running late) “What way should I go?” “Whatever way your phone says” “My phone said I should’ve turned back there” (traffic intensifies and no where to turn off & she’s mad at me now) Why do these wife people blindly trust their instincts no matter what?

Our friends have a son who is non-verbal autistic. He played baseball on Sunday for the first time and fucking loved it.
