With the Mariners and Brewers heading to the AL/NL Championship Series, there’s going to be endless Seattle Pilots nostalgia. I just wanted to be first.

Arthur Lee Maye is maybe the greatest singer to ever play Major League Baseball. Certainly the most prolific. Read and listen on substack.

Thirty years ago, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast confused and confounded. The writers would write and rewrite. The editors would edit and re-edit. Working with the smart and funny folks at Cartoon was tons of work but also tons of joy. Thanks, Atlanta Magazine. Honored to be a part of it all.

Happy 50th Anniversary to Catfish Hunter becoming baseball’s first free agent. He had two songs written about him, one by BOB DYLAN!

Listen and read about ‘em on Substack:

Whenever I’ve visited someone’s home in Italy, there were always these shoes by the door— ragged and beat-up, but looking so so comfortable. After years of searching, I finally found my own pair (this pic) and I will probably/definitely talk about them at length the next time you see me.

Braves rookie pitcher Pascual Perez took a wrong turn 40 years ago. He’s still being found.

When you’re chopping carrots and celery for Super Bowl dips, you HAVE to let people know, generally, when they’ll be ready.

Give them a crude ETA.

David Letterman introduces “Fat tub of goo” to comedy lexicon at expense of Braves pitcher Terry Forster.

I use this story to make an inordinate number of puns.
