In 1996, I sent Levi a condolence card after the National League Championship Series, in which the Braves came back from being down 3 games to 1 to the Cardinals (including a 14-0 win at Busch Stadium in Game 5).
In 2004, I sent Levi a condolence card after the Red Sox swept the Cardinals in [...]
Available for play at the California Extreme arcade game show a couple of weeks back:
Gottlieb’s Big Hit (1977)…
Gottlieb’s World Series (1972)…
Williams’ 1962 World Series (1962), in very good condition…
Guess I should say a few words about Matt Garza’s no-hitter last night, which I watched in its entirety on ESPN. Hopefully there won’t be any claims that the no-hitter wasn’t all that impressive because it came against the beset-by-injury Tigers.

2004: We go on a baseball road trip, there is one perfect game during the season, and the Red Sox win the World Series for the first time since 1918.

Those of you who know me know why I think this poster, now appearing on my living room wall, is totally awesome — it combines two of my interests.
It’s also a bit of a lie. There’s no regular “historic streetcar” service to AT&T Park right now; it’s only in the planning and occasional demonstration [...]
On June 23rd, the Brooklyn Cyclones will become the Baracklyn Cyclones — and there are a lot of amusing elements involved in the promotion.
Via Sports by Brooks: the St. Petersburg Times reports that the Rays are looking for a new person to portray Pansy the Wuss-Wuss Fish, or as they call him, Raymond. Here’s the actual job posting.
That Times report mentions that the previous Pansy was fired last month; no word on any official cause.
On November 15 of last year, this blog reported on a Major League Baseball press release detailing plans for a 100th-anniversary celebration of the song “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during 2008.
I saw no actual evidence of any special 100th-anniversary festivities this past season. Most notably, contrary to that press release, the [...]
