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

Fun mail day, courtesy of my good pal Jason @heavyjstudios.bsky.social Finally got my hands on a Jackie. Thanks for the fun additions!

I miss baseball already.

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!

1970 Fleer World Series, Part 2. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @markhoyle4.bsky.social @curtburner.bsky.social @mattypabst.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @gimapreceptor.bsky.social @ballpark-frank.bsky.social

Only 4 pitchers have recorded a Pitcher’s Cycle — striking out every batter in the opposing lineup — in the World Series: Trey Yesavage, 2025 G5 Randy Johnson, 2001 G2 Bob Gibson, 1968 G1 Jesse Barnes, 1921 G6

This Fall Classic triple goes out to @phitter72.bsky.social.

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. Check out Mark’s work here: fortress.maptive.com/ver4/3d9288a...

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.

I just bought a thing off the internet

Always fun to add a playing-days Gabby Hartnett to the collection! [1938 Our National Game]

Hall of Famer Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown, born on this date in 1876

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.

Pete Hill, Chicago American Giants, T205 tobacco-card style

Nice work @gritz.bsky.social!

A Chicago sports legend is honored on the Wrigley Field Marquee

Yes!!! I have officially added an autographed Chris Kamka card to the Cubs collection!

Remembering John Prine, born on this date in 1946

Hmm. Wonder if that’s @chicagowoz.bsky.social in the background, perhaps on a day he accidentally got to Wrigley Field too early?

What an amazing surprise from @thelensofdonnam.bsky.social - a signed setlist of legendary NJ rockers Trixter! Donna, you are truly one in a million.

Laughlin artistry. Records are made to be broken. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @ckamka.bsky.social @gimapreceptor.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @markhoyle4.bsky.social @wsomarketing.bsky.social @mattypabst.bsky.social

Nice!!! I'm in the bleachers today!

On a gorgeous, sunsplashed September Friday afternoon there is no better place to be than Wrigley Field with a beverage and a bag of peanuts.

Congratulations to Kyle Schwarber clubbing HRs 55 and 56. It’s like 1930 all over again!

If this makes you giggle, we should be pals.

Awesome!!!

Abomination

T206. A reminder from the Surgeon General. Scrap the tobacco, but keep the cards. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @mattypabst.bsky.social @jedthorn.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @gimapreceptor.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social

New on the Hardball Voyager - Ben Ernst share his adventures in Maryland and an encounter with an Orioles Hall of Famer whose career began in Aberdeen, SD. Awesome stuff, Ben! sabrlandmarks.com/2025/09/15/b...

Closing in on 191 unique Hack Wilson’s!

Forgot to post, yup Mrs.Woz got us the W

Darth Vader mural 59th Street Robbins, IL

Best I can do.

I have 1 gum card.

Finally finding some time tonight to binder some cards. Especially love these AMAZING Cubs art cards.

Just in case you’ve ever felt like showing off the cards in your collection that still have the gum stuck to them, now is the time to show everyone your treasure(s).

Deacon White was a member of the 1876 Cubs (née White Stockings) team in the National League’s inaugural season. White led the league with 60 RBIs. White was the first—and most recent—Cubs catcher to lead the league in runs batted in.

You can never have too many Mungos. Also my favorite tune in a Karaoke bar. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @phitter72.bsky.social @gimapreceptor.bsky.social @dodgers-cards.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @shlabotnik-rpt.bsky.social
