Zuckerberg Rookie Card!


This photo was taken by me in 1993. It shows off some of Mark Zuckerberg's baseball skills at the time. Jon wrote about his signed baseball card I've kept over all the years! Go figure. The article appears on Huffington Post.

Circle Me Bert!



Today the 2001 HOF class was announced and Roberto Alomar and Bert Blyleven were welcomed to the Hall. Blyleven slowly reached the required 75%, while Alomar rec'd 90% on his 2nd year ont he ballot. Next year it'll be nice to see Lee Smith, Larkin, and Jack Morris join them on a ballot that is light with any surefire first balloters. Frank Thomas joins the ballot in 2014 (with Maddux, Glavine & Jeff Kent). The pictures with the post were taken from a Jays game in 2007 in which Big Hurt homered twice to reach 507 and 508.

1/1/11 Duck!! Incoming New Year!?!



In 2001 Shira and I met! It was spring (just after start of the baseball season :) and by the end of the summer we took a road trip to Cleveland. These are a few photo relics from the trip from our pre-digital days. I will try harder than the past few years to upload pics and comments. Granted, family, friends, and Cyrus are probably the only people who will ever read this. The poor Tribe is back to their losing ways and should be especially dreadful as Shira and I celebrate ten years of having met! Interestingly enough this is the 2nd straight New Years I've been trying to organize the basement. This time into a playroom for Cyrus. Time is going too quickly?!?
