20th Century Baseball Man

Today should be a national holiday where we all sit around the TV and watch the cinematic masterpiece UHF while eating Twinkie hot dogs

RIP to Paw Sox legend Todd Benzinger #cardsky

Always a delight to see baseball in Star Trek.

TrekMovie.com@trekmovie.bsky.social

OTD: the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Take Me Out to the Holosuite," inspired by an episode of the 80s TV series "Fame" written by Ira Steven Behr. Turned out Max Grodénchik was the best player in the cast and had to play left-handed to make Rom look bad.

Manute Bol was the best.

HoopsAnalyst@hoopsanalyst.bsky.social

Hollander POTD Manute Bol. Sudanese C was drafted 31st by WAS in 85. Had immediate impact, leading NBA w/5 bpg as a rook. Was backup after, still led NBA in bpg in 88-89. Ainge: "he's the only guy who can stand 8 feet away & still have his hand in your face." Played thru 93. RIP.

A nice Saturday mail day! #cardsky

What a fun player Jose Ramirez is to watch play baseball. Despite his great career I feel he may be underrated

Random card from my collection: 1980 Topps Bombo Rivera #cardsky

For the second straight post season elimination game the Red Sox are starting Nate Eaton and Nick Sogard. Just staggering that these are the best choices. They didn't learn from having them start last season in the playoffs? This looks like a mid spring training lineup.

Alex Speier@alexspeier.bsky.social

Red Sox lineup features Jahmai Jones leading off and Nate Eaton in LF vs LHP Max Fried. No Anthony, no Duran. Jones DH, Rutschman C, Contreras 1B, Abreu RF, Rafaela CF, Durbin 3B, Sogard 2B, Story SS, Eaton LF, Gray P

I'm not sure if Liberty is going for humor in the Liberty Bipperty commercials, but if they are, they're missing pretty badly

I had a bootleg copy of this back in the 80s with no instructions on how to play but that did not matter one bit. This is a top tier C64 game all day long

Random Commodore 64 Screenshots@rndc64screens.bsky.social

Impossible Mission (1984) Another screenshot from Dennis Caswell's classic roguelite platform puzzler, Impossible Mission. If you know the Commodore 64, you know this game - and if you don't, it's one of the system's must play titles. It's very difficult, but also very enjoyable.
