Tipping my hat to the Broncos fan in the Karl Mecklenberg jersey at the MNF game.

One day while walking in Santa Monica, I saw a couple women standing in front of a house chatting. The house had chain link fences protruding out of the top at weird angles. I asked if they kept birds there and they both yelled NO! and got really mad at me. Found out later it was Gehry's house. RIP

Just posted this last week and now the great Steve Cropper is gone. 😧 Also love that Frank Black had him playing on Honeycomb and Fast Man Raider Man. RIP

I present to you, Vin Scully's Swingline 3-hole puncher.

Today must be dazzling, one-handed catch day in the NFL.

I know nothing about this topic, but that's a funny photo to put under "Coming off the Egg Bowl."

It would have been so hardcore to have paired Busta up with Quick Draw McGraw.

Here's a random photo of Chase Utley.

I was pretty close...

I bought the new Jimi Hendrix Axis: Gold As Love box set, which came out last week and I cannot stop listening to this instrumental track of Castles Made of Sand. Alt take of One Rainy Wish is sending me, too. youtu.be/a5UhEwrGvYw?...

Before he was with the Blue Jays, Hunter Mense was with the Padres organization as the hitting coach for the Tri-City Dust Devils.

Remembering that time I watched Paul DePodesta walk into the press box at Dodger Stadium during a Giants game in July 2004.

Sometimes I get a glimpse of Bo Nix and for an instant I see Bill Romanowski.

I don't care how old this makes me... the guy in the commercial telling the grocery bagger not to put the loaf of bread under the canned goods is 💯 in the right.

Both of these teams are champs, really. This Series is unbelievable.

These commercial breaks are like when the roller-coaster is just climbing up to the first drop of the ride.

OMG!!!

Did Roberts tell Wrobleski to hit Kurt Bevacqua?

Strike 'em out, throw 'em out DP is my favorite play in baseball, but that one was pretty unsatisfying.

Great play (and call) in 2023: www.mlb.com/gameday/7485...

Outfielders: Look at how phenomenal Kiké is with his first step. He's already starting to move to the correct spot before the liner has passed the mound.

Maybe Yesavage hasn't pitched enough in MLB to have a good simulation in the Dodgers' Trajekt machine?

Ohtani's only had 6 plate appearances with runners on base in the WS. That ties him for 15th. This so he can have 22 PA overall? Mookie has 22. Freddie has 21. Edman, Teo, Muncy and Will Smith have 20. Is 1 or 2 extra IBB worth having him come up with the bases empty all the time? Seems crazy.

Brendon Little. Tough spot.

Bring in the fences!

I should have mentioned that @bensbiz.bsky.social threw out a perfect ceremonial first pitch moments before I took this photo.

Eric Lauer, pitching for the Tri-City Dust Devils in 2016, which feels closer to the beginning of this game than where we are now.

Can they bring in Nomo?

Hey, remember when Max Scherzer pitched in this game?

Reminder that Clayton Kershaw came in as a pinch hitter (he lined out) an inning before Max Muncy walked off Game 3 of the 2018 World Series exactly 7 years ago.

2021 Vancouver Canadians second baseman Davis Schneider.

2015 Tri-City Dust Devils first baseman Ty France.

Seven years ago today, in the wee hours of the morning, I witnessed Max Muncy walking off the Red Sox in the 18th inning of Game 3 of the World Series.

Addison Barger and the Vancouver Canadians played all their home games in Hillsboro, Oregon, in 2021 because of Covid and travel restrictions between the US and Canada.

Blue Jays so good, Ohtani just hit a two-run bomb and nobody's talking about it.

2022 Vancouver Canadians pitcher Mason Fluharty.

2017 Hillsboro Hops catcher Daulton Varsho.

Let's go!

These pictures are awesome: historiclouisville.weebly.com/four-basebal...

Were any of these "bounce home runs" @johnthorn.bsky.social? Was there even a fence?

In all the coverage of Ohtani's great night, I have seen mentions of Babe Ruth (of course), Tony Cloninger, and Rick Wise, maybe Jim Tobin ... but not Guy Hecker, the pitcher who in 1886 led his league in batting average while winning 26 games (two years earlier, he had won 52).

There are very few Hillsboro Hops that I didn't photograph, and Chad Patrick is one of them.

Currently experiencing an all-time great split-screen over here with Raleigh and Ohtani.
