Great piece, Michael.
Ghost runner scores.
I know the focus is on the second word in these venues names, but Iβm most thankful the first word in Dodger Stadium has always been Dodger as opposed to Crypto or Herbalife.
Elvis Lives cards
If non-sport counts hereβs an entire box.
Between Rick and the fellow collecting a pic of every Cleveland player ever, I would have bet (and lost!) the house at least one would be in SABR. π€·
Thereβs another?

This was fun work. Here are the three things I learned that were most interesting to me.
1οΈβ£The same guy has two cards in the 1914 set.
2οΈβ£Of the 11 guys to change teams, only two got new art.
3οΈβ£Of the 139 guys not to change teams, one got new art anyhow.
11x AS should be automatic absent scandal.

Could also make for a fun 1960 Leaf.
1984 Fleer

Hereβs the 1984 Fleer content you didnβt know you needed. I THINK Terry Forster is holding a ball with his autograph. #CardSky

My first babysitting gig paid $1.25 an hour but granted free rein of the pantry, or so I thought. Would completely polish off all the Cheez-Its, Triscuits, and Wheat Thins after the kids got to bed. Eventually the family made me a deal. Stop eating all the food or take a pay cut. I took the pay cut.
My Mt Rushmore of Crackers has only three: Cheez-Its, Wheat Thins, and Triscuits. Theyβre so far above the rest that if pressed for a fourth Iβd add a low-salt version of one the three.
Guilty as charged!
Fantastic!
What's a card definitely in your Top 10 favorite cards ever?

They sure do!

They might both be top ten but this is always the first card I think of when I remember how much fun I had collecting cards that year.
Great discussion of the book on @edgeofsports.bsky.social podcast.

Kings and Pawns by Howard Bryant
Wrapped up this incredible book last night. The obvious stars are Jackie Robinson and Paul Robeson, but this has also gotta be the most honest look ever at Branch Rickey. π βοΈ
Great choice!
I would love to see it back in its original incarnation. Beyond that Iβd enjoy it as βsuper veteranβ vs rookie pic of same player or maybe something like career leader vs active leader.
