On this day in 1919, Jack Roosevelt Robinson was born in Cairo, GA. It goes without saying that he was one of the most important figures in the history of baseball, let alone this country. Here’s my painting of him in the Ebbets Field dugout in late July of 1948.

We mourn the passing of former pitcher Bob Veale. Veale was a member of our 1971 World Series team and is second all-time in Pirates history in strikeouts. Our thoughts are with the Veale family during this difficult time.

Right, off the top of my head I can think of horizontal shots in '71, '73 and '74, but that's it.

1974 was my first year buying wax packs and I swear I had accumulated 20 Bill Bonhams by July.

Ouch, that sounds like a painful memory, but I can say that you're not alone when it comes to doing things like that with cards when you were a kid.

Hi, everyone, thanks for following me on here. This week I'm reviving something I did at the other place: the 1970s Baseball Card of the Day. Hope you enjoy it. For the first one, my favorite athlete of all time:

1970s #MLB hats #PolyesterRankings #5: The #Padres introduced the first "bell" hats as home Sunday alternates for the 1972 season. These #Unicorn hats were so special that I call them the "Snowflake" hat as they were so hard to produce that no two were alike.

Like many, I was sad to hear of Rickey Henderson's passing. Rickey made his MLB debut in the '70s, on June 24, 1979. He was 2 for 4 with a double and a stolen base and went on to become the greatest leadoff hitter and base stealer in MLB history, as well as one of its best players, period. R.I.P.

RIP Rocky Colavito, who has filled my imagination since I was a kid even though I never saw him play.

Hello, bluesky! I've had an account at the other place called 1974Baseball, but I'm moving over here with a new handle that better reflects my interests. If you love everything that made 1970s baseball great, including Willie Stargell's van with a pirate ship on the side, please give me a follow!
