The one wearing a Dodger hat a decade or so way too early!

Big league right here

I like how Dusty is shirtless and the Piazza boys are dressed for a Norristown snowball fight.

Boy, it must have been really good to be Ralph Kiner back in the day.

There was the visit to the booth from John Travolta -- likely in 1985 because I believe he was plugging PERFECT, a film starring him and Jamie Lee Curtis -- where Ralph chimes in with, oh yeah, I used to date her mother (Janet Leigh) after Jamie Lee's name came up.

Travolta, though a Jersey/NYC kid, probably had no idea who that old man in the corner was (Ralph would have then been 62) but his face suddenly had a look of profound respect on it. Playa recognizing Playa.

Fun times

What is the policeman holding in that Kiner picture? A dogchain?

I think it's the stanchion chain that needed to be pulled aside for the power couple's arrival.

One of my favorites from many moons ago now. I had read in the Sunday
paper (remember those?) that the final piece of The Ol' Girl was going down
that Monday so we took a ride out for a final farewell.

Guess where that custom baseball card came from.

No and no.

Is it a Zvon card?

That card looks more like Z’s work than a Typewriter card though.

That's because it is a Z card.

Winner, winner! Chicken dinner!

Technically, I win. But I just ate so Stevie can eat his chicken...
