For a brief second, I read this as "Clark" as in "Clark the Cub" the mascot of the Cubs. And I thought to myself, why would a mascot sign only baseball cards? Wouldn't that be the hardest thing for a mascot with giant paws to sign?

Does anyone know if will Clark signs anything other than cards ttm? Or is he strictly cards? Thank you!

Shota wearing a Marquee hat. There's something amusing about a Cubs player wearing a Marquee hat. It would be like Carlos Zambrano wearing a WGN hat. Question: Do you think the Cubs gives each player a free subscription to Marquee?

Based on "Runs Against" and "Runs Scored" the Cubs should have one more win. Which is good news, because the Cubs aren't overperforming. And when you look at the strength of their opponents they've faced, again, the Cubs' record should be one win higher. claydavenport.com/stats/standi...

I found my 139th MLB player who signs with Bible verses. Jeff King, the #1 draft pick in 1986. Mostly signs with Psalm 139. Found one where he used 1 Corinthians 2:9.

Orestes Destrade signed the car with "Randy Johnson: 1st strikeout victim" Not sure if Orestes did this on his own or if someone asked him to use that inscription.

Posted in the "Baseball Autograms TTM" Facebook Group by Don Friedman on February 7, 2026 at 7:01pm. The title of the post was, "Got this back today, laughed signing this." https://www.facebook.com/groups/1831542000409274/?multi_permalinks=4442551832641598&hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen

Looking at Don's other posts in the group, he doesn't have many cards with inscriptions. So part of me thinks that Orestes simply added this. But none of his autographed cards on eBay have this inscription. So that makes me think he didn't add this without the suggestion.

I found my 136th MLB player who signs with Bible verses. Blas Minor played 1992-1997. Three seasons for the Pirates. He signs mostly with Colossians 3:23, but some of his minor league cards have Proverbs 3:5-6.

1993 Fleer, Blas Minor, Pittsburgh Pirates, Colossians 3:23, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,"

1990 ProCards, Blas Minor, Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

I had a theory that this 2025 World Series was more exciting because there were less strikeouts (and more contact). But that theory didn't hold. Of the 26 World Series since 2000, the 2025 World Series is 11th for most SO/IP. Rather average for strikeouts.

My 6-year-old and 9-year-old daughters are using my Cubs W flag from the 2025 Wild Card Series as a blanket for their dolls.

Blue rally towel with silver "W" imprint is used as a blanket over a doll on a bunk bed. Rally towel is from Chicago Cubs 2025 Wild Card Series against the San Diego Padres. The Cubs won the series 2-1. This was the third postseason clinch at Wrigley Field ever.

Matt Shaw has been hitless for all six games of the postseason. I was getting ready to say he shouldn't start today. But then looking at the Cubs with the highest OBS in the NLDS, Shaw has an OBS of .444. That's the highest of any the Cubs (other than Turner's two at bats)

I’m doing my first crossover multi-scorecard drawing. These are games 1 and 2 of the Wild-Card series. Featured are the back-to-back home runs by Seiya and Carson Kelly from game 1. I'm pretty pleased with how Seiya turned out. Now onto drawing Swanson and Nico making defensive gems for game 2.

Nico Hoerner, 2025: vs. 28 Other Opponents: 38 SO in 594 PA (6.3%) vs. Brewers: 11 SO in 55 PA (20%) Hoerner has still found some hits in this series, to his great credit. But the #Brewers have a plan for him in big spots, and it works.

Here’s the thing about the Milwaukee Brewers. It’s NOT A popular opinion. Nobody took them seriously for years… because of Bob Uecker. Bob Uecker set the tone for the Brewers. He set the image for the Brewers. You couldn't possibly treat that team seriously.

The Cubs need a new strategy. They’ve been homering in the first inning of each game against the Brewers. That’s usually great. But it gets the Brewers woken up. They need the Brewers to be sleepy.
