Talk about impactful moments in Mets history.

One of the very best - and mostly unknown - covers of an Elvis Presley song ever. This a live version, used as part of an album called “The Last Temptation of Elvis”

Long story short, we canceled our Valentines dinner plans last night to eat pizza with the kids, build a fire and watching another Best Picture nominated film; “Anora”

I’m rewatching The Flash and noticed that Bruce Wayne really overlooked that spaghetti. Gross.

Happened to me last year. Honestly, worked out way better. My new doctor is excellent.

Political BlueSky is equally as terrible as Political Twitter and Facebook.

Stop kidding yourselves.

So many wonderful artists and writers have graced @GothamBaseball with their talents over its 29 years.

John Pennisi’s art has been a huge part of our brand. We would not be the same without him.

One of the great events Gotham Baseball sponsored over the years was The Gotham Cup, the brainchild of Gene Berardelli and Ken “Trolley” Schlapp. Playing 1864 rules, the Gothams faced off in an invitational Base Ball tourney at Central Park.

I didn’t attend Notre Dame, but I’ve been a Fighting Irish fan since 1975.

#BeatPennState

Bring in 2025!

Hey, look who joined the party!

If #Mets decide Pete Alonso isn’t worth what he’s asking, I’m going to put my money on David Stearns.

To paraphrase Bill Veeck Sr., when you only listen to the fans, pretty soon you’ll be sitting in the grandstand with them.

I think they are both full of baloney

RIP to the Man of Steal, Rickey Henderson. I just completed this illustration a couple of weeks ago.

My son Jack just made me switch to the Penn State game 😁

A movie about the real Santa and a movie about terrorists, not the same.

We only watch one team in this house

I grew up watching Star Trek TOS reruns on a black & white TV. I even worked for a company in LA that ran Star Trek conventions across the country.

My only complaint about the Superman teaser is if Krypto is CGI, why isn’t he comic accurate? That “dog” is not a white Labrador retriever

The best ever captain in NY Hockey history is Denis Potvin.

Period.

I’ve watched every Star Trek film, series, documentary, spinoff, etc. All except Voyager, which I’m watching for the first time.

Got to say, it’s very good. But just like TNG, it took a while to get really good.

It’s in LA. No such thing as Christmas in LA.

Bleh

This is Thibs’ best team yet

Yeah, just like Lethal Weapon is a Christmas movie.

Lol

Robert B. Parker is one of my favorite authors. When he died, I avoided reading any of the Spenser books that were published by another author.

About a year ago, I went all the way back to the beginning and now I’m finally enjoying the newer books.

Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie, it was released in the summer. Enough already.

But it’s a great movie. I know this because I couldn’t stand Bruce Willis as an actor until I saw Die Hard in the theater in the summer of 1988.
