I would've done the same. Good luck!

With Jean Segura on 3rd and 2 outs, Hamels cleanly fielded an Anthony Rizzo grounder but couldn't get the ball out of his glove, allowing Segura to cross the plate with the winning run.

What had been a pitcher's duel ended in an ugly manner, as the Flamingos win the game and the series on an error by Explorers pitcher Cole Hamels.

My high school’s computer lab had a couple of TRS-80 computers

1961 Topps has a colorful 'less is more' design that I've always liked... but I might be swayed by having a couple of 1961 Topps cards among the first "old" cards I got as a kid

I've thought about this, but I kinda like having a spiral bound book for games I attend

Interesting... I had no idea there were so many 'homebrewed' scorebooks!

Thanks, I'll check it out!

That Ferguson card was a favorite of mine as a kid

Looking for a new baseball scorebook, but I'm just a fan who enjoys keeping score... not tracking pitches or available players, just keeping my head in the game.

Any recommendations?

I've enjoyed watching in past years, but I don't really have a team and I manage to miss the good games (i.e. Japan vs. Korea)

Every time I turn on a WBC game the mercy rule is in play... this is why I'm having trouble getting interested so far

Lots of airbrushing coming out of this one!

Made their debut less than 2 months after the first episodes of The Addams Family and The Munsters. What was going on in the autumn of 1964 that everybody had to have an amusingly creepy family?

1964 Topps Giant-Size All-Stars (colloquially known as "1964 Topps Giants" of Bob Gibson and Roberto Clemente

I loooooove 'oversized' cards, especially the 1964 Topps "Giant-Size All-Stars" set

Ah, well... a bit too late to the party. At least I got to see a nice catch by Shuto

You've sold me... now which channel is FS1 again? 🙂

Been a minute since I'd even thought of Basia

Batman's doing the Biathlon wrong

Just be aware that Marcie, the return for Snoopy in this trade, hates baseball

In the 2026 Peanuts Desk Calendar, Peppermint Patty is pressuring Charlie Brown to trade Snoopy to her team, even though he's on the DL with a broken foot (But Peppermint Patty won't take 'no' for an answer)

2026 Shlabotnik World Baseball Classic custom baseball card of Nicaragua infielder Mark Vientos. If the stadium behind Vientos looks a bit unusual, that's because it's the Oval in Adelaide, Australia

WBC custom cards are something I'll likely just do for a few preferred players of mine, but I have this 1987-88 Fleer Basketball template ready to go when I get the impulse
