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:

Two pics, exactly one year apart. On the Astral Plane Drifter set in Joshua Tree and at the film’s East Coast premiere in NYC. With writer/ star Mike Caravella.

Hello new followers. I’m Jay. I love to write about how #baseball worms its way into #popculture. Like the confluence between Halloween and baseball:

MONSTER BASEBALL CARDS!

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.

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.

Just like on Super Sloppy Double Dare, the D-backs are covered in Gak.

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.

“Braves go from Hand to Johnson…”

My inner 12 year old is snickering. Sniggering. Snitkering. All those.

Your Sunday night TV options circa 1984. Liberace in “Special People” is tempting but Roy Scheider as aging baseballer in “Tiger Town” wins.

I’m decorating bathroom with only baseball-themed items.

Freshly framed and installed: Patron Saint Eddie Stanky.

Super rare misprinted Bobblehead of Freddie Freeman. Or Chris Taylor. Either way, collector’s item.

I went to the Angels game on Thurs. 8/3. Classic Ohtani /Angels/ Tungsten Arm ODoyle game: 4 scoreless innings pitched, manufactured a run (IBB, stolen base, scored in a single), and hit a late HR. Angels lose anyway.

That HR was his 40th of the season. And it was THIS CLOSE.

Hi-
I write a baseball & pop culture newsletter on Substack.

New post: BABIP, Bobo, Mungo, The Skeeters of Arkansas, and the callous nature of luck. #tinkertaylorsolerspiezio
