Hold on to that Matt Nokes!
How Retrosheet saved baseball history, by Jay Wrigley.
Back of book.
I just got my copy of @jaywigley.bsky.social ‘s new book today. Looking forward to reading it this weekend!
That’s a good pack!
Sid Krofft, co-creator of 'H.R. Pufnstuf,' 'Land of the Lost' and other fantastical children's shows, dies at 96
Sure can.
Absolutely.
I’ll take the vintage please!
1979 Topps team cards.
1979 team cards anyone? Or a picture of the Astrodome? 😀
I saw Devo last Friday night, and the hats were going fast at the merch table.
A photo of legendary Michigan QB Rick Leach.
I got this Rick Leach photo and had it framed in my bedroom when I was a little Ann Arbor kid. Just got it back from my folks downsizing.
America's oil execs have pocketed $1.4 billion selling stock during the Iran war, the WSJ reports
This cash windfall won’t go primarily toward yachts and private jets, but toward political campaigns and lobbying orgs dedicated to blocking climate policy and fueling authoritarianism
I’m already at the point where they go down 3 runs or so, and I turn off the radio feed and find better things to listen to.
Dulles town center- famous for whatever those fried things are.
Christopher Abbott playing Paul Anka on repeat.
I think I’ll buy that book!
Needs relish.
DEVO
Are we not men?
We are DEVO.
After effect is that I had to get up early to go to San Francisco for work, and realized midway there that my jacket doesn’t match my pants.
I ran into the bartender from my Monday night run group there, who I’ve also seen at local cyclocross races, so I guess we have a special bond now.
The Menzingers
Tuesday night at the punk show- The Menzingers, with I Am The Avalanche opening. Fittingly, the first song was “America I Love You (But You’re Freaking Me Out).”
Petco Park.
Started my Detroit Tigers game attendance in San Diego tonight, where they took the L. I haven’t seen a Tigers victory in person for 2 plus years now, but I have tix for at least 4 more games this year- 1 in SF, and 3 in Sac.
He didn’t mention it by name, but I deduced it was the Mendocino 50K, which looks like a cool race.
In a legislative hearing tonight, and a witness mentioned an ultramarathon race in passing during testimony, so I naturally spent part of the debate looking up the race, the route, and past results. I’m easily distracted.
No respect
Tigers are going all the way this year, whatever it takes.
It is too early in the work year for walking around in a suit in this heat.
Our air district recently took a support position on this bill and I’m looking forward to helping out.
Multitasked a fantasy baseball draft while drinking wine at an Oscars party. For Tigers I got Valdez, Torres, Dingler, Carpenter, and Vest. Most near the end of the draft. We’ll see how this goes.
Frank Duffy looks way cooler in the second one.
