As answer to any one-word question: "The hands of fate?"
College discussions: "...have they considered Iowa State, the high school AFTER high school!" (two of my grandparents met at Iowa State)
and for any qualitative evaluation: "👌It stinks!"

Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

99% of the time, people refer to W515 as baseball only. The full set includes several non-sport strips, including Hollywood royalty Mary Pickford. This composite shows how image size differences between W515-1 & W515-2 echo those seen on other W515 types. #CardSky

Several 1958 "stamps" (VZ album photos?) are on eBay right now from an issue with entertaining name mismatches. These three seem to be Pirates teammates Don Gross, Bennie Daniels, & Ted Kluszewski. #CardSky

Huge chunks of summers with my dad were spent listening together to Cosby records. Fortunate that they’re not something he’s tried to revive, given other big differences we’re already dealing with!
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

When the MLBPA struck mid-1981, it started by knocking out a weekend series. Games were played Thurs, June 11, pending a legal injunction. Julio Cruz tied the AL steals record, keying an M's win over Baltimore. Fri/Sat/Sun games became the strike's first footnote. #goms #baseballhistory
