The Mariners are in a better position right now than at any point in their history. How did we get here? And what happens now that they're coming home?

cheeky ad from the Boston Herald of October 13, 1914. With the Boston Braves one game from a World Series title (they won Game Four that day), retailer Filene's runs a sale on men's silk socks, with a headline, "May We Focus Attention on Sox A Moment?"

#OTD in 1914, some absolute A-level trolling from Filene's.
With all eyes in Boston on the Braves -- who are one win away from a World Series victory for the ages -- the well-known Hub retailer runs a sale on ... sox!

This 1979 M’s drubbing of New York made it easy for Topps when picking card highlights! One of the earliest games I attended after we moved to Seattle.

Terrace reflection, Leamington Spa, UK. It legit looks like a lower level of that building, thanks to the water stillness.

Accurate fridge magnet if you also consider card binders as "books I've yet to finish." #CardSky

Immaculate Grid #920 was shared with you Put your baseball knowledge to the test! Immaculate Grid is a daily trivia game powered by Sports Reference. Want to play infinite Immaculate Grid? You can now go all the way back to Grid #1

Tough grid today, as Gold Gloves are often my weak link. The addition of extra innings _has_ relieved some brain strain from playing, TBQH.

Too stressful to watch much of it live. Found a Seattle sports discord server that helps deliver info at just enough emotional distance to deal with.
