Flashback Friday

My team and my favorite player of all time died this year. RIP. It’s a bit ironic that Henderson was “immortalized” with the naming of Rickey Henderson Field several years ago just to have both go extinct by 2025…

Rickey would have celebrated his 66th birthday two days ago.

Is it still baseball season?

I pretty much lived at this place in the 1980s. Now it is gone. This was the last game I ever saw there.

This year I have paid zero attention to MLB. I couldn’t tell you who is in the playoffs or what round we are in. It’s kind of odd how something that was such a big part of your life can later become so dead to you.

I stopped following MLB a while ago, but this was my random desktop background image of the day. Upon looking up Blackmon’s whereabouts before posting this, I was surprised to see that, 10 years later, he is still playing for the Rockies.
