I fix baseball gloves and other props for movies and TV. I also make toys sometimes. Slowly, slowly writing a book about historical baseball equipment. Professional baseball talkerer on the weekends.

I’d have around twice the number of “followers” if I didn’t block bot accounts. Barf.

Tavi @baseballszn.bsky.social · 5h

Man, any time I get more than ten likes on a post I get bombarded with bot account follows and creepy messages. It’s still better than the bad place but the bot situation is out of control.

Swing the banhammer.

Messages from obvious fake accounts.

If the Dodgers win this series can both the Blue Jays and Mariners face them? (They could be an AL Voltron.)

I’ve got a calzone from the pizza joint around the corner.

I’ve got the radio broadcast synced to the TV.

I’m in my PJs and Max Muncy is mashing.

Pretty ok for an October Tuesday night.

All we wanted was a chance to talk

If I crash on the way back, play Hozier’s version of Parting Glass followed by Missy Elliott’s Get Ur Freak On at my funeral and donate my Dodger books to the LAPL.
