I have this same issue, but it's with the 1979 John Milner Topps card. I tried to get my wife to let me paper the walls of the living room with those cards, but that would only get rid of about half those Milner cards!

I love this!

I don't know how I missed this. Larry Gerlach wrote a great biography of Bob Emslie that won this year's Seymour Medal from SABR.

I was bummed it wasn't open when I was up there a few weeks back, but I'm excited to get back up and see this exhibit!

"Shoeless Joe," by W.P. Kinsella. That novel actually began as a short story he wrote in the late 1970s, "Shoeless Joe Jackson Comes to Iowa." An unknown editor's assistant read a summary of the story and convinced Kinsella to turn it into a novel. It turns out that was a good idea.

Congratulations!

Great piece, Michael!

I was thrilled to see Kinsella get in there! Any chance you'll attend the induction?

I was back in Pittsburgh for the first time in probably 21 years or so last month. I walked over to where the old stadium was. PNC is fantastic, but I still miss my early days as a Pirates fan there. Great picture, by the way!

I approve this message!
