I just acquired a Babe Adams card today. Johnny Antonelli started with the Boston Braves and could not crack the rotation because they had another solid lefty named Spahn.

1981 Expos helped greatly by a complete game shutout by Ray Burris. It’s true, look it up.

Jackson Browne’s current touring band is fantastic, but there are now two guys doing what David Lindley used to do by himself. Kind of a subtle tribute to Lindley’s greatness.
