Following a conversation the other night with @ckamka.bsky.social, I was inspired to add a whole bunch of sweet oddball Cubs.

These really help to round out my collection.

All 3 Mariners that homered tonight have a first name that starts with “J”

Julio Rodríguez, Jorge Polanco & Josh Naylor.

🔱 Against the JAYS.
🔱 J is 10th letter in alphabet; M’s scored 10 runs.
🔱 Julio (and Polo): first Mariners with 3+ run HR in ALCS since JAY Buhner.

Achievement unlocked! This 2025
Topps x Bob Ross card from @ckamka.bsky.social gets my Kershaw collection to 4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣, which the haters will remind me is 396 more than Clayton’s postseason ERA! Am also now only 3,040 behind the leader on TCDB! 🤣

First up, the “More than Brave” exhibit at the AHS, with nod to @heavyjstudios.bsky.social, whose collection is featured.
