They challenged that because Tommy Pham would have slapped the manager if he didn't. (They shouldn't have challenged it.)

Bought my first cards today for making a 1977 complete Topps set. Should be a nice project for the next year or so.

Got excited because there were still open parking spots when I got to campus, and then I got sad when I realized why there are now fewer cars in the parking lots.

Is the fact that nearly every theatre company is doing Come From Away this week the closest we'll ever get again to the Federal Theater Project opening It Can't Happen Here all across the company at the same time?

Yes, but really only the comedians and non-sports folks with cards

Do you think NBC paid GEICO for the hump day camel or did they just steal it?

Right now I'm trying to collect all the base 35th anniversary cards from the Topps sets starting in 2020 with the 1985 design. I'm somewhat close on the 1986 ones from 2021.

Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

Standing on stage at the New York City Center, Mayor Mamdani announces his admin's opening a lottery for 2,000 free tickets to Broadway shows for local high schoolers. Noting that he's been doing sports game lotteries all summer, he says: "This is justice for theatre kids."

Not a sitcom, but the final sketch with Holmes and Watson in That Mitchell and Webb Look is devastating.

Prime example of a show that got better because they gave a character a spin off series. Nothing against Mr. Vigoda intended. (I have a baseball card with a piece of his shirt in it.)

Underrated sitcom. Should have gotten a second season at least, and Kirk's character should have been revealed to have some sort of superpower.

In undergrad, I had a communication instructor who insisted that we call him "Cooter." I think I repressed that until it popped up today. I did not call him that by the way.

When 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their homes during World War II, baseball became more than a game. In #AHAPerspectives, @americanstudier.bsky.social explains how the sport fostered community and collective resistance in the incarceration camps. 🗃️
