MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

Random events cluster non-randomly.

 

Anyone remember this? I sure don't.

 

Good to know no one else was in the stall, er, box with him:

 

"Joining the home run fun" sounds like a good euphemism for taking a dump.

 

That's Game 2 of the 1984 World Series. In fact, Aurelio Lopez only pitched 2/3 of an inning in the fifth in relief of Dan Petry. Looks like one of them called a pitchout and the other didn't. Oops.

Not as good as “dropping the kids off at the pool.”

 

Some amazing photos from the ’71 World Series in this thread.

 

I was a few weeks old.

You know how many of these kinds of hidden gems must still be in attics and basements around the country?

 

Hardly a World Series, but at our office we have a filing cabinet full of those slides from local high school football in the 1950s. I'm not sure how to scan or develop them, and to me they're priceless artifacts so I don't dare throw them away. So there they sit.

 

We had an entire attic full of them at the place I worked, just deteriorating. I knew how to scan them, but who had the time?

 

I'm absolutely there w/you in terms of not knowing how to preserve/digitize them, but try to figure it out b/c there's a really good chance your successor will just chuck those pics without a second thought.
