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.

Haha. It would certainly be a combo of these two existing ones.

Well, here is where my mind wanders while enjoying “Death by Lightning.”

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.

In case you were wondering, Jack O’Lantern is a southpaw.

Happy Halloween!

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.

So this just happened.

Completed the entire Cubs Hostess run 1975-79–including the two variations from 1975.

Huge thanks to @markarmour04.bsky.social for the kind help with this project.

Always fun to add a playing-days Gabby Hartnett to the collection!

I don’t often post photos of dinner, but when I do, it’s probably homemade pizza.

What could possibly be cooler than getting a Hall of Fame postcard of your guy in the mailbox, postmarked from Cooperstown, and sent with a Hank Aaron stamp?

Single-season RBI champ and all-time RBI champ all on one amazingly thoughtful gesture by @heavyjstudios.bsky.social.

Following a conversation the other night with @ckamka.bsky.social, I was inspired to add a whole bunch of sweet oddball Cubs.

These really help to round out my collection.

Added a few “new” cards to the collection today.
