Sunday is enriched with both Mets/Yankees one career and Pilot sitings … nice

🤩 added to my photo roll 🙏🏻

In the decade of 50s, a golden age of NYC baseball, I can only think of one player that played with the Giants, Dodgers and Yankees (in that order), and he is seen on your post -> 💈 !

Horizontal mid 30s ‘rookie card’ Joe DiMaggio

Something about the photo aesthetic of the inset Iron Horse mid swing there reminded me of a DiMaggio card I love - National Chicle fine pen - I’m a sucker for an action shot.

Met and Yankee in same career siting

Looks great …

The art, the color! Mesmerizing. 13? Klein and Grimes my fav to look at ..

🤣 yes, we should all be franker 🤣

Love that cut out

Burdick-Lloyd Wright collaboration

Excellent; Mr Gamble just came in Cubs/Padres handy on a recent Immaculate Grid - doubly excellent!

Hey @spoart.bsky.social , am I recalling the young Cubs shot is from Dell Stamps - photo as a Cub, but appears in the Phillies book? The photography on those Dells was gorgeous

Just love that photo, and those Pittsburgh batting helmets

Gorgeous Blue Moon @spoart.bsky.social … and man, that George Hendrick ?rookie? off to the right …

I think this is an ‘As Told To ..’, and a great read.

Would be wild if the responsible collector would see their own handiwork on a post like this and respond. That ever happened, @spoart.bsky.social ?

Here for that ⚾️ history content!

Man, Willie Davis had a tough game in center ..

I’ve gotta get my cataracts done … 👁️👁️

Ending with a ‘Great One’! I didn’t collect these; colorful/cool. Of course 1969/73 my favorites

Oh yeah, love it !!

I think John The Hammer Milner makes the photo opp

One man’s clutter ….

Shouldn’t the miracle, observed by so many, have earned Gil Hodges sainthood? 🤔⛪️

On that last binder page I spy 53 Bowman Color Sid Gordon, I think Joe Ginsburg, Vic Wertz and maybe ?Art Houtemann. The varied subjects of tobacco cares were amazing …

1963 Topps pitching leaders card

Sanford and sons? Came on right after (or before 🤔) Chico, NBC Thursday nights

Photo of the following quote from Joward Zinn "TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places-and there are so many-where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory." - Howard Zinn

In case anyone needs this now (full quotation in alt text)

What a group. Love seeing very young Koufax and Drysdale ..

You are most welcome kind sir … the Brooklyn outfield of Furillo in left, The Duke of Flatbush in center and a rookie named Roberto in right

Revisionist history can be beautiful.

Noooice. Came back to the Metsies in 74-75!
