The last week

Sadly, this is the last week of the regular baseball season in which, on most days, there are 15 games from which to choose. As you know, I follow no team. An advantage to this is I can watch and usually enjoy any game I chose and invest my time to the simple pleasure of watching the game. I care more about some teams and some players than others. For example, I have tried to watch every at bat that I could this year of Andrew McCutchen. I try, also, to listen to the radio call of as many Cleveland Guardians games as I can. I adore Tom Hamilton. I think he calls the best game in today's sport.

Today is the first day of fall, aka Autumn. It signals a change in the weather. A change in the color of the leaves. Usually by August the green leaves here are a tired color under the heat and humidity of the mid-Atlantic. We're already seeing yellows and a smattering of reds. Day by Day, more sky appears, slightly, through tree branches.

But I do not think you are here to read me wax poetic about the turning of the leaves and the donning of sweaters; the losing of light, the gaining of night. No, let's look at some cards.

This George Brett camera short while back through the Sunday giveaway on BlueSky. I don't think I showed it off already, but if I did I doubt anyone will mind seeing it again.

The next two cards came via OneMillionCubs on eBay Live. Beau was doing some vintage cards, there were few "in the room" and I landed these for .99 cents each. All day and all night I would do this.
