In a 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court of Hoop ruled that, β€œBall don’t lie.”

I always laugh at that part in Eyes On the Prize when that young white lady asks β€œwhat about my civil rights” in response to the Nashville sit ins.

The Five Essential Baseball Cards of 1993 Upper Deck While some would say Upper Deck set the bar impossibly high with its debut release in 1989, there is no doubt that the 1993 set surpassed it.

Just about every card in this set is terrific. As always, the Essentials are the ones YOU want most. But here are mine.

In case you were wondering if there were any early 1970s pictures of Joe Torre that weren’t creepy… Yes?? Shoot, it’s kind of hard to say not that I look at it some more.

I'm guessing he's Undersecretary of Education at this point. Maybe we can get him feuding with Chris Jericho to distract them or something.

Nothing says health and fitness like a dude who cycled drugs for decades shilling an administration headed by a pedophile with a fast food problem.

Under the JFK administration, they used the power of the federal government to force the Washington football team to integrate.

I've seen smart people associated with book publishing assert that social media doesn't sell books, and that's not my experience. I can't quantify how many books a site like Bluesky has sold for me, but it has given me a community, which has then spread word of my books to those who wouldn't see it.

This is awesome, even if did remind me that I'm old enough to see Darryl Strawberry play in the minors when I was a kid ⚰️

In 2013, someone at Topps told someone at Topps, β€œI have a helluva idea for a card,” and they actually had two helluva ideas. And now I’d like to thank that visionary.

And still won MVP in 1978, 3rd in 77, 2nd in 85 with the Reds.
Led the league in hitting twice in 77,78, and RBI in 85 with no protection in the lineup in Cincinnati on one knee

It does seem rather on the nose that Parker and Allen are going in together.

In the late 1970s, when baseball was still the top sport, Dave Parker was the best in the business.
So why did it take so long to get into the Hall of Fame?
Because, Dave Parker was Black and boisterous, and for that they made him pay.
