RIP, George Altman
So sad to hear George Altman has passed.
Even though it was a bit before my time, a Billy Williams, Lou Brock, George Altman Cubs outfield ruling the 1960s would have ruled.
Godspeed, George.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, here’s the SABR bio of Dwight’s own Eddie Higgins. He served during WWI in the Army’s medical department at Camp Grant near Rockford, Illinois. Thanks to the Dwight Historical Society for helping to tell his story. ⚾️ sabr.org/bioproj/pers...

Well, I cannot recommend An Evening with David Byrne any more enthusiastically.
This was the most fun I’ve had at a show in forever.

Only 4 pitchers have recorded a Pitcher’s Cycle — striking out every batter in the opposing lineup — in the World Series:

Randy Johnson, 2001 G2

Jesse Barnes, 1921 G6
Trey Yesavage, 2025 G5

Trey Yesavage struck out all 9 Dodgers at least once tonight, a feat that Herm Krabbenhoft dubbed a “pitcher’s cycle”

I love having been able to play a tiny role in @markarmour04.bsky.social’s amazingly ambitious Satchel Paige Project.
This postcard sent from Cooperstown is immediately one of my favorite things.

I LOVE that 1977 OPC included a totally-not-airbrushed Bobby Murcer on the Cubs, it’s kind of like a traded card considering Murcer was depicted as a Giant in the flagship Topps issue.
