Big on baseball, Notre Dame, music, peanut M&Ms. I should read more books. And probably eat less cheese.
I'm always happy to talk Springsteen ...

RIP Baseball@ripmlb.bsky.social · 2mo agoSad to hear that Butch Huskey has passed away at age 54. He played for 7 seasons with 5 teams, had a lifetime .267 batting average with 86 homers, including 2 20+ seasons. He wore #42 as a way to honor Jackie Robinson, before MLB retired the number. www.mlb.com/news/butch-h...
Saw 35 minutes of The Young and the Restless at the gym today and there was only one scene where anybody was moving around. Every other scene was people sitting at a table or on couches & chairs, talking. No wonder they're so restless.

Michael Baumann@baumann.bsky.social · 3mo agoFwiw I talked to five players this afternoon, four of them first-time All-Stars, and every single one of them thought all the non-Phillies getting booed was funny and took it in the spirit in which it was intended. I really, really, really don't think anyone's getting their feelings hurt here.
I think he's from somewhere near the Philly area, but not sure.

We went to this event last year, and it's a blast! My only critique about the article is that it didn't mention the Pumpkin Drop, when they hoist a giant gourd up several stories with a crane and drop it onto a field behind a school. (Unless it was nixed this year.) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/s...
Is That Pumpkin Seaworthy? No Promises.
