Luis “Canena” Márquez was born 101 years ago today. He was an East-West All-Star as a youngster in the Negro Leagues, an AL/NL veteran, a minor-league standout, a late-career Mexican League star, and one of the greatest players in the history of the Puerto Rican Winter League.

The Rays are the 44th to team to fall behind 3-0 in a best-of-seven postseason series and just the 11th of those to avoid a sweep Of the 10 previous teams that forced a Game 5, four also forced a Game 6, two forced a Game 7 and just one (2004 Red Sox in ALCS) came all the way back to win the series

I feel like I’m not hearing nearly as many “generations of Milwaukee baseball fans have been waiting a half-century for a championship” stories like we heard for … every other team that ended a long World Series drought. Please point me to ‘em if you got ‘em.

I've heard that a former D&J Glove Repair customer is throwing out the first pitch before game 2 tonight in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Brewers master uniform lettering, 1993. This was the last design job I did via traditional methods, just as digital technology was beginning to really take hold. Hand drawn on tracing paper w/ pencil, I then inked the final art on vellum. I'll be posting more from the rebrand along the way

Immensely honored to have contributed to this book. Still touched by what I witnessed and experienced during the last six A’s games at the Oakland Coliseum.

Out today on Prime and a couple theatres is CAPTURING BIGFOOT, a documentary about the 1967 Paterson-Gilmlin film. Besides conclusively showing the film was a hoax (they found the smoking gun), it expertly tells the incredible family/friend drama it created. One of the best docs I’ve ever seen.

I cannot stress enough how helpful it is when you like a thing that someone created (like, say, a book they wrote) & you TELL PEOPLE ABOUT IT. Word of mouth can be an incredible tool, yes, even if you don't think you're a fancy influencer with an incredible following. Your recommendations go places!

The 1967-68 Player Boycott of Topps

I have written about this subject before, but have not done so here. This remains an area of study for me, and hopefully this post will catch some of you up. From 1956 to 1980 Topps had a virtual m…

I was thrilled when the last playing era Venezuelan card/sticker I needed of Jose Bracho was posted on eBay at a superb price. I used the opportunity to pick up three more legends of Venezuelan baseball. My collecting has definitely focused on guys in the book lately. A bit about each:

Nothing could’ve prepared me for the ad read of the century from the Brewers radio broadcast after that Christian Yelich go-ahead single:

A bottom five team in payroll will represent the AL in the World Series (whether it is the Rays, Guardians or White Sox).

Happy Allen & Ginter Day to all those who celebrate! #CardSky
