If you were a kid in the 1980’s like me, you know how much the world has changed over the last 30 years.  We used to play video games on an Atari 2600 and we were totally blown away by the clunky square pixels that moved like robots.  Now, we have next generation consoles that make you question whether you are playing a game or watching actual television.  We used to be able to make phone calls from the phone in our kitchen and only travel as far as the cord would allow.  Now, we have phones on us 24/7 and don’t even make many calls … Continue reading Return of the Base Card!

AND, as luck would have it, I was available! So, shall we do this? BU: Thank you for being here with us! LM: No problem. I was already here, so … Continue reading TRADING CARDS

There is a baseball star in New York that has captivated baseball fans young and old over the past few months.  He fits the mold of “Bronx Bomber” to perfection.  Aaron Judge is larger than life, both literally and figuratively.  He is a 6’7” masher who is crushing home runs at a rate that is unmatched in Yankees history.  In fact, Judge recently broke the longstanding rookie record for the Yanks, held by Joe DiMaggio, of 29 home runs in a full season.  Judge hit 30 before the All-Star break.  He currently has a .313 average to go along with the 30 HR’s and 66 RBI. … Continue reading Judge-Mania
