Traces of Texas reader Randell Tarin kindly sent in this 1935 photo of his father, John Henry Tarin, selling Fritos, “The New Mexican Crispie,” in downtown San Antonio for 5¢ a bag. He was 13-14 years old. Fritos made their debut in 1932, so this was just after Fritos became available. Wunderbar!

After the last couple of seasons those extra innings games always scare me. 1-0 in extras for 25! Go #astros

Men sitting on a car in Raymondville, 1939. I just LOVE the (defiant?) posture they all have and their classic look ---- the pipe in the one man's mouth, the cigarette, the hats etc... The car is pretty great, too. Photo by Russell Lee.

Nolan Ryan's Curveball was a MENACE. 😳

You needed a Seatbelt.

Remember what the Bishop said

Was Chris Fowler always a big OSU fan? Kirk is the one you’d understand being biased but he actually seems the more objective of the two.

It's going to be a crazy day with the inauguration & the cold weather, but we need to remember what's important: Joe Kelly ran away from Carlos Correa, hid in the dugout behind his teammates, refused to confront Correa, and then LA commemorated this with a mural painted on the side of a liquor store

One of my own photos. Sunset on the beautiful brick streets of downtown Bartlett, Texas. I took this a few years ago.

Ballot #121 is from Randy Miller. He adds Andruw (net +9) and Vizquel (+2). Wright is tracking at 10.7%. Miller becomes the fourth voter to publicly vote for Wagner 10 times (Paul White, Jose de Jesus Ortiz, Steve Popper).
