I'm a reviser, with words, with memories, with reality. In my mind since the game I didn't want to end ended, Alejandro Kirk drops down a stunning, game-tying bunt. It could have worked! I've seen it work! Muggsy Allenson did it! Continue ridiculous game!

Took my son to @freelancewrestling.bsky.social last night. The first thing he said afterward: "That was the most awesome thing I've ever done."

The great Bill Lee holding court after a screening of the excellent recent baseball flick Eephus. Got to say hello afterward, but even better was when Bill's longhaired grandson chased down my son and me as we were leaving to introduce himself and tell my longhaired son to "keep growing the hair"

For me, Immaculate Grid is always a little bit about the guy you can't quite remember. Today, for me, the name just beyond the border of thought was the first mentioned in this, one of the greatest sentences in American Literature: "If Mike de la Hoz is not Bob Del Greco, who, if anybody, is he?"

Today's amazing Immaculate Grid gave me a chance to pay tribute to that classic and hilarious work, The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book

I was just looking at mine today. The top guys, besides Dewey, connect teams I don't know that deeply. No surprise that "expansion team hail mary" Edwin Jackson is in the mix.

I tried to go all Red Sox but had to pull in some ringers (and afterward saw I could have hit my intended mark by adding Sparky Lyle, Cy Young, and Eck to the mix)

In the story of my life that I told card by card, I leaned heavily on Rickey. RIP to a guy I thought would be around forever.

He's my "most often in error" choice in @immaculategrid.com. I can't stop thinking he played for the Twins, for some reason, or the Mariners, for this reason:
