So many wonderful artists and writers have graced @GothamBaseball with their talents over its 29 years.
John Pennisi’s art has been a huge part of our brand. We would not be the same without him.

One of the great events Gotham Baseball sponsored over the years was The Gotham Cup, the brainchild of Gene Berardelli and Ken “Trolley” Schlapp. Playing 1864 rules, the Gothams faced off in an invitational Base Ball tourney at Central Park.

If #Mets decide Pete Alonso isn’t worth what he’s asking, I’m going to put my money on David Stearns.
To paraphrase Bill Veeck Sr., when you only listen to the fans, pretty soon you’ll be sitting in the grandstand with them.

My only complaint about the Superman teaser is if Krypto is CGI, why isn’t he comic accurate? That “dog” is not a white Labrador retriever

I’ve watched every Star Trek film, series, documentary, spinoff, etc. All except Voyager, which I’m watching for the first time.
Got to say, it’s very good. But just like TNG, it took a while to get really good.

Robert B. Parker is one of my favorite authors. When he died, I avoided reading any of the Spenser books that were published by another author.
About a year ago, I went all the way back to the beginning and now I’m finally enjoying the newer books.

Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie, it was released in the summer. Enough already.
But it’s a great movie. I know this because I couldn’t stand Bruce Willis as an actor until I saw Die Hard in the theater in the summer of 1988.
