I know the back of the card says I averaged a hit per game, but I assure you that's a total BS stat! 🤣

My parents dug this treasure out recently. 🤣

Photo of a baseball card featuring me in little league baseball in 1995. I'm wearing a yellow and navy blue baseball jersey and navy blue baseball hat I'm standing on the grass of a baseball field, holding a baseball bat.

Back of a baseball card from me playing little league baseball in 1995. Card shows my name, my team name, and my coach's name.

Apparently!

I'm being hit with memories of when a friend from Germany mailed me a Christmas gift, which arrived months later, with a big stamp on the package. "Missent to Malaysia."

I'm LOL'ing at the mental image of stopping and staring at the tunnel wall. 🤣

In situations like that I've removed my hat but kept walking.

I've got a package coming via USPS. It started in Georgia and I live in Michigan. It went Georgia to Indiana. Indiana to... Arizona. What?

The #1 spot is held by "Prostate Exam Tiger" from the late '50s.

Amazingly, this is the second best/worst logo in Tigers history!

Logo of the Day: Detroit Tigers (1927-28)
This unsettling tiger head was on the front of Detroit's road jersey in 1927, then moved to the back in 1928, before uniforms had numbers. Weird and wonderful. ##Tigers##MLB

Yeah, I've got a little motorsports shrine behind the desk in our home office. 🤣

Photo of the shelf behind the desk in my home office. On it are three medals from 5k races I've run, four Lego race cars, six Hot Wheels sized race cars, and a number of motorsports themed cards, stationary, and hero cards.

My wife ran into the grocery store while our oldest was at gymnastics, and came away with quite the haul for me!

Three Hot Wheels toy race cars sitting next to each other on a shelf. At the far left is a white, black, and green Peugeot 9X8 Hypercar. In the middle is a yellow Cadillac GTP, and at the far right is a black Cadillac GTP.

Alright! Just scored a ticket to a Last Podcast on the Left live show for next year!

Missed the guys the last time they were in town, a few years ago, so I'm excited to get the opportunity this time!
