We talked about Rick Cerone the blue jean pitchman. This is right up there with Tom Henke's Aqua Velva ad in terms of raw sexual energy...Rick Cerone, a Perfect 10. This video only has 1400 views, we need to change that. youtu.be/tNUbjCDXHHs?...

We talked about an Atlanta Opening Day legend...Rick "Don't call me Gustav" Mahler! Rick followed his brother Mickey to the Atlanta system as an extra arm. He ended up pitching more than a decade and on opening days went 4-0 with a 0.92 ERA!
More here: 1988toppspodcast.blogspot.com/2025/11/rick...
Atlanta Braves script logo in dark blue on light blue background. Overlaid in front of the logo are the front and back of Rick Mahler's 1988 Topps card. The front shows Mahler in mid pitch with his right arm stretched behind him holding the ball. His glove hand is in front of him and he faces the plate. He is wearing the gray Atlanta uniform. Rick Mahler is pitching in a light blue early 1980s Atlanta Braves uniform. He has a dark blue hat with a white A. He is throwing the ball with his right hand and wearing a glove on his left hand.

This week, the most unlikely jeans models in the 1988 Topps set...it's Rick Cerone! A New Jersey guy, Rick filled the Yankees catcher spot after Thurman Munson's tragic death. In 1980 he was 7th in AL MVP, recorded a song, and modeled jeans!

Collage with a Yankees logo and two 1988 Topps Rick Cerone cards. ONe shows Rick in a pinstripe Yankees uniform swinging a bat at the plate. He has a mustache and dark brown hair. The other card shows Rick Cerone in a gray Red Sox jersey with a bat. Rick Cerone on the cover of the Mets scorebook wearing a fedora, with a white button down shirt and tie. He is wearing NY Mets pinstripe pants, with a suit coat over his shoulder, holding two baseball bats. The cover of Rick Cerone's charity single, "A Long Run Home", featuring a drawing of Rick Cerone in pencil with curly hair and a mustache.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...
And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Sam Horn.
Baltimore Orioles baseball player Sam Horn watches a fly ball as he is at the plate. He wears a white jersey with ORIOLES in script and the number 15. He wears a black helmet with an orange oriole bird.

fun listen about Flannery, who I grew up watching, and reminder that federal forces make Chicago less safe.

This week, a career Padre and then one of the best 3B coaches int he game...Tim Flannery! Flan Man was a utility guy for the 84 NL Champs and won 3 titles with the Giants as a coach. He now plays music and seems like the best dude.
Listen and learn: 1988toppspodcast.blogspot.com/2025/10/tim-...
Collage of an 80s padres logo with Tim Flannery's 1988 topps card front and back. The card portrays Flannery batting in a gray padres jersey. Tim Flannery stands on base while playing for the San Diego Padres in their 1980s home white uniform. The uniform has orange script and orange numbers. Tim wears a brown helmet with a yellow front. IN the background are logos for the Dodgers, Giants, and Padres on the outfield wall. Tim Flannery in the background celebrating a slide into home plate as the Giants win. Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh join Tim Flannery to sing the National Anthem at a SF Giants Playoff Game. The three men wear Giants jerseys and are singing into a microphone.
