speaking of sign-stealing, this is a great book about bobby thomson, ralph branca, and the alleged stealing the NYG were doing on or about october 3, 1951.

great art fletcher play!
as always, staturday was a blast.
it’s a shame nomar couldn’t stay healthy.
i’m a lifelong yankees fan, but always rooted for nomar.

dick allen played before my time, but i’ve come to truly respect and appreciate not only what he did on the field, but also the difficulties of the time in which he played, what he had to endure, and how he handled it.
hat tip to him and the cobra in today’s grid.
ron oester!

had a fun staturday.
i usually play the golden oldies, but went with mostly young blood today.
i had to stop following him on the other site, it was challenging to read some of his takes.
sad.
dick allen dealt with a lot of things that bill james will never understand.

i was 9 in 1983 and collected through the 1992 set when i was 18.
really had fun with it, still have all my cards!
1983 topps is one of my favorites - the first cards i bought as a kid.
jerry ujdur signed a ball for me back then - my first player autograph!
