Did not get to play.

Did not get to play. Also, if there was a restaurant in hell, this would be it. I could go on, but my children have noted my acerbicity, so I’ll leave it at this. #ala2020

I Got A Touchdown!

Dock Ellis and the LSD No No. Back in '09 PCL contributor Desuko posted something about Dock - this animation tells the story of his no hitter on LSD.

Separated at Birth?

World Series: American Idiot Wind

Don't want to be an American idiot.
People see me all the time and they just cant remember how to act
Don't want a nation under the new mania
Their minds are filled with big ideas, images and distorted facts.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
Even you, yesterday you had to ask me where it was at,
The subliminal mind fuck America.
I couldn't believe after all these years, you didn't know me better than that.

World Series: The West is the Best

Before I-
slip into unconsciousness-
I'd like to have-
another hit.

World Series: Dizzy and Daffy Davies

"P.S. I signed up for next year. Comiskey slapped me on the back when I went in to see him and told me I would be a star next year if I took good care of myself I guess I am a star without waiting for next year Al. My contract calls for twenty-eight hundred a year which is a thousand more than I was getting. And it is pretty near a cinch that I will be in on the World Serious money next season."
-Ring Lardner- You Know Me Al 1914

Wheaties. Spark. That's all.

Friggin' Wheaties, huh?

Yay! Baseball ! Wheaties !

From what I hear, Wheaties gives you spark.

THE CLEVELAND WHITE DEVILS

I was watching the playoffs a little and I told my wife "I want one of those hats!" Y'know, a blue hat with a red bill, and that cool Indian logo on it. My wife reminded me that the hat was reprehensible because it was racist. She's right. But that cartoon is so cool

Think about it, the Cleveland Indian Logo, which now is often seen as racist, has a subtext to it:


Wild savages ready to attack.
Crazy warriors with Tomahawks and arrows.
Unrelenting onslaught.
Insane and badass.

And not a "Hey what about, 'I will fight no more forever'?" in sight, Nor a "They are enigmatic..." Also a dearth of "Our founding fathers borrowed from the Iroquois for the Constitution!!!"

Jus' WILD INDIANS. (Fun fact: Indians actually come from India!)

SO HERES A SOLUTION......



THE CLEVELAND WHITE DEVIL

Now, think about it-

400 years of slavery of African Americans
Smallpox blankets sold to the Indians
Invisible weapons of mass destruction
No evolution
Shock and Awe
The most elaborate serial killers
Tasing Cops
WWF
Deliverance
Insert godawful thing here
In short actually INSANE AND BADASS

I think I'm gonna get these made........whaddyathink?

More Punk Baseball for The WORLD SERIES!!

Working out how to best print these in preparation for sale....Backs will have a fave song lyric instead of stats. Teams and stuff like that is purely dictated by what I found searching vs. head size...
Also, there's a little "WTF?!?! moment at the bottom.
All cards link to the total collection page.

Enjoy!









and as so many bad interoffice joke emails say, "wait for it......"



Hey, that's not baseball !!

And today's excruciatingly appropriate tune:

Soon I Will Post The Gum

Okay, I have a job & family, so I can't do a whole set but would love to. Feel free to make this type of work my living - you who are empowered to do so. As the summer progresses, I'll continue, maybe, and will print them and sell them at the all-Glyphjockey Store I'm opening soon. (Remember: "everything is for sale"). As far as selections, I'm currently goingw ith the "I like who I like" method, but since it seems to matter, I paid a little more attention to the teams this time. And....with music!

He's got a Wiggle Stick Momma,

Autographed!



Everything in it's Right Field

That smile's for all the kids who want to grow up to be just like him....



Lastly, somebody asked for Iggy's rookie card before he got traded to Philly and got all morose (I don't blame him)

Where Are They Now?

Why, Playing Baseball, of course!


He was reading about Duchamp and one thing led to another.


Spits more Mail Pouch tobacco than Lenny Dykstra at the height of his career.....

Just something I wanted to try - rush job, but I'm happy - it's outta my head.....
