On this date in 1991, Bill Veeck was elected to the Hall of Fame. Known for his innovations, did he try to break the AL/NL color barrier years before Branch Rickey?

Some may look at this, and think that The Stig is involved in a snowball fight.

But it’s called Yukigassen.

On this date in 1967, softball legend Eddie Feigner—maybe the best pitcher EVER, on ANY level—struck out Mays, Killebrew, McCovey, Clemente, and Piersall.

Don’t believe it? Take a look.

How the *%#$ is Michael Jeffrey Jordan turning 62-years-old today?!? Here’s my painting of his most iconic card, the 1986-87 Fleer rookie, based on the photography of Noren Trotman. Looking forward to painting MJ more in the future.

On this date in 1961, Charlie Finley became the sole owner of the Kansas City Athletics.

After 6 1/2 years of shenanigans, he’d move the team to Oakland, setting the precedent for problematic A’s owners.

Here’s my painting of Dorothy Kamenshek obliging a young fan at Beyer Stadium in 1947. A seven-time All-Star and two-time batting champion, “Kammie” was one of the best players in the history of the AAGPBL, as well as the face of the Rockford Peaches. Hopefully I did her justice.

Five years ago today, I knew for sure I would be friends with @graigkreindler.bsky.social for the rest of my life (and @misstellier.bsky.social too) after traveling to Kansas City to see the opening of Graig's exhibit at the @nlbmuseumkc.bsky.social on the 100th anniversary of the Negro Leagues.
