I'm way behind on showing off successes here. Even on Instagram, I'm posting about once a month.
But I had to show off today's arrival. 438 down, 2 to go...
If you think "Lift Every Voice And Sing" shouldn't be sung before the Super Bowl because it's divisive, then I expect you to also complain about Kane Brown singing "Georgia On My Mind" before the All-Star Game because that's divisive against the other 49 states.
I will celebrate my 42nd birthday with the Cleveland Browns drafting Drew Allar first overall.
You have permission to ridicule me if I am wrong.
I am putting this on the record now, 363 days out.

A couple TTM successes: Jiri Hudler in 2 years to Czechia, and Mel Gray in 4 months.
IP: Amarillo at Frisco in the AA Texas League yesterday.
I can not stop laughing at Pete Alonso running. what the hell even is that.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS, USPS?
Charros de Jalisco vs. Pasta-City All-Stars at Cleburne Railroaders, 4/15/25.
This phrase describes something that actually happened: "That's the fifth out in the top of the 10th inning, with the home team leading 5-3."
A few things I forgot to post!
Oil Can Boyd TTM in about 3 months (smeared, ugh...)
Vinny Stigma and Roger Miret signed Vinny's autobiography before their Dallas show (Miret wrote the foreword)
Jyrki Lumme TTM in 4 months
IP Corpus Christi Hooks at Frisco Roughriders
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in my mailbox, only a two-month wait!
Since it gets cut off on here, this is my full banner photo.
The final day puts me at 676 autographs after 15 days in Arizona.
I am ready to rest for a month.
The penultimate day of my trip was spent with the Rockies and Reds, and it pushed me past the mark of doubling what I did last year (in 14 days so far this year vs. 8 days last year).
DAY THIRTEEN: Solid bounce-back day today with the Angels and Rockies.
Hey guys, you'll never believe this but the @clevelandguard.bsky.social organization hates its fans.
Unless you're a fan like me. Then you'd l believe it. This was all I got signed today.
I would have done practice in the AM and definitely fared better but we aren't allowed in to watch it either.
A below average day with the Angels and A's.
Featuring a boomer fuckbag who challenged me to fight!
DAY TEN: A day of Rangers' mediocrity turned excellent with a late Mariners' practice!
DAY 9: A solid day with the Brewers and quality over quantity with the Royals puts me past my goal of 500 for the trip!
When in doubt, Sox it out.
Hit the White Sox practice, then the Sox-Padres game. Padres were meh, Sox were great. Got Gurriel for the set though!
Day 7: Brewers Minor Leaguers were excellent. The A's and the Giants were putrid.
And I got Illy Mack'ed! Looks like this #detroitlegend has moved to Phoenix, but he's still doing awesome drawings like this.
The last two days went from flying high and fast to hitting a brick wall. I did at least have a few set hits though. I'm at 336 through 6 days.
86 autographs from 41 players today with the White Sox and Padres. Shown here, Hall of Famer Tony LaRussa signs.
Day two: Mariners were great. So great that I arrived at the Reds, got no one, and didn't care.
43 sigs from 25 players. 101 total for the trip so far.
And now, it's time for a Sonoran hot dog.
Arizona, Day One: Guardians and White Sox
Tuesday's mail!
...and two baseball!
Finishing the week with three hockey...
Three hockey successes on Wednesday!
