Made an appearance on a show hosted by @nyctaper.bsky.social in which baseball card collectors showed off their 1948 Cleveland Indians gems. I don't really have anything of value from that team, but it was a nice discussion of "Our Team": www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb_I...

In preseason 1969 Satchell Paige made 3 scoreless 1-IP appearances for Braves against AAA Richmond affiliate. In first, he got win (his last). In third appearance, final batter was Orlando Cepeda, rehabbing and serving as DH (experimental rule used that spring). Next day Satch retired.

Nice article that helps shine a light on the revival of #HinchliffeStadium ⬇️

Happy SABR Baseball Cards birthday 🎂 to a nice guy who didn’t finish last (except in 1989). @danevans108.bsky.social.

Happy 98th birthday to Negro Leaguer Ron Teasley, thankfully still with us. Among his accomplishments, Teasley looks to be the only player ever to appear on a baseball card as a Carman Cardinal 🇨🇦.

Northern New Jersey is proud to call Hall of Famer CC Sabathia one of our own. He and his family chose to remain in Bergen County after he retired.

Three terrific Baseball Hall of Fame elections! Congratulations to the scouts who worked so hard to acquire these great players, as they're being celebrated today also!

Cool trivia from the @baseballhall.org: Ichiro becomes the 3rd Hall of Famer to have played in both MLB and Nippon Professional Baseball. The others? Larry Doby with the Chunichi Dragons in 1962 and Goose Gossage for the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks in 1990.

Congratulations to Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner, 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame inductees! Check out their #SABR biographies at sabr.org/latest/ichir...

My most favorite Ichiro photo I made ~ Caption: Seattle Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki prepares to bat against the Oakland Athletics during their MLB game on Sept. 4, 2011 at the Coliseum in Oakland, Calif. #ichiro #photography

I was saddened by the death of Jeff Torborg, a tremendous person who also happened to be a great baseball guy. We worked closely with the White Sox, and I treasure that time together, as he was an elite role model and an incredible teammate. RIP, Jeff.

RIP to one of our own, a North Jersey guy.
