Recreation yard at Alcatraz. Definitely been some ballgames here through the years.

1964 Topps Stand-Up. George was a grain trader at the Chicago Board of Trade later in life, as was Glenn Beckert. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @billpearch.bsky.social @ckamka.bsky.social @scottsimkus.bsky.social @seank138.bsky.social

Ryno completes my 1986 Jay's Potato Chips Discs set. Love this set. 7 Cubs, 7 White Sox, 6 Brewers.

Eugenio Suárez’s last 2 games with the Mariners!!! 🤯 7/31/25 Home shutout win vs. Rangers; Suárez scores first run; Kirby tosses 6.0 scoreless IP in start. 10/1/23 Home shutout win vs. Rangers; Suárez scores first run; Kirby tosses 6.0 scoreless IP in start. GENO! 💥 #TheMayerGWS

1992 Panini stickers Ken Griffey Jr. All-Star holofoil. 1990s in all its glory.

It’s difficult to overstate Henry Aaron’s importance to the Braves franchise, City of Atlanta—and frankly—his place in American history. First up, the “More than Brave” exhibit at the AHS, with nod to @heavyjstudios.bsky.social, whose collection is featured. Follow along here! 🧵

Cubs & Cards tonight

IYKYK. A gonfalon is a flag or pennant, and in this context, it symbolizes the Cubs' dominance and the Giants' disappointment. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @ckamka.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @johnthorn.bsky.social

Top 5 road city without question.

At this moment, the following players all have exactly 117 career home runs in the Majors:

Baseball in DC.

Before players wore numbers to help fans identify them, in 1876 each of the Chicago nine wore a different colored fez. This innovation made the players look from the stands like “a Dutch bed of tulips,” the Tribune noted. Illustration by Gary Cieradkowski.

Okay, let’s rip some packs! @ckamka.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @seank138.bsky.social @billpearch.bsky.social @blueskylessrich.bsky.social

Ed Williamson hit 3 homers in game 2 of a doubleheader on this day in 1884. The first 3-HR game in NL history. The homers came at Chicago's Lake Front Park 186' to LF 300' to CF 196' to RF That's largely how he finished with a then-MLB record 27 homers on the year.

For no particular reason—just a fun little run of pocket schedules. Anyone else collect these?

Getting to enjoy Nancy Faust on the ballpark organ this afternoon was amazing, but getting to say hello and get an autograph after the game was even that much better. Legend.

New on the Hardball Voyager, @heavyjstudios.bsky.social goes for mass appeal, offering up a glorious story about the White Sox’s tribute to Chicago’s newest popestar. sabrlandmarks.com/2025/05/26/t...

Over the last 10 games, the Cubs have outscored opponents 54-3 from the 6th inning on. It's quite ridiculous.

Dick Allen. If you had to pick a player to match to his era as far as style/personality, it would be him. So glad he is in the hall along with Dave Parker. Repost from yesterday with an edit. The more I thought about it, It needed a young Isaac Hayes. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Found a bound volume of The Sporting News from Apr-June 1984. Amazing.

A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer. bsky.app/profile/niko...

Q: When was the last time SABR had a Shawon Dunston superfan on the Board? A: Never! Let’s make it happen!

1971 OPC. Les Expos. Oh Canada 🇨🇦 @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @markhoyle4.bsky.social @ckamka.bsky.social @seventiescard.bsky.social @nyctaper.bsky.social @curtburner.bsky.social @misstellier.bsky.social

You can take the Miami out of Jake Burger, but you can never take the Jake out of Miami.

Just in case you were worried—yes, I am the proud owner of this Gummy Arts masterpiece.

Minnesota. Killebrew style.

With THE DIAMOND KING coming THIS Friday, let's celebrate with a giveaway. We created a boxed set of 35 cards featuring Dick Perez's work.

On Jackie Robinson Day, here’s an outstanding collection of essays from SABR on his entire life and legacy—from college football to fighting Jim Crow in the U.S. Army to his role in the Civil Rights Movement. Plus plenty of baseball too. sabr.org/journals/jac...

4/11/25: Cal Raleigh passes Mike Zunino for most HR by a Mariners catcher: 5-3 win over Rangers; Chris Martin pitches 8th for TEX. 8/6/18: Mike Zunino passes Dan Wilson for most HR by a Mariners catcher: 4-3 win over Rangers; Chris Martin pitches 8th for TEX. #TheMayerGWS

When @heavyjstudios.bsky.social writes about cards, you read. It's that simple. Another excellent piece - this time on Diamond Kings! www.si.com/collectibles...

How did I not know Harry Kalas was from Naperville until just now?

Which pitcher has the prettiest motion you've seen? Any time frame.

4/3/74 The Dodgers acquire a 17-year-old named Pedro Geurrero from Cleveland in exchange for Bruce Ellingson. Guerrero hits .290 across two minor league levels and develops into a star for L.A.

I wonder what the most times one player has pinch hit for the same batter in MLB history. I love trivia like that.
