  1. Question related to scheduling:  MLB has opening day on a Thursday and then on Friday, only 5 games were played.  On Saturday, the same series continued.  This coming Thursday our heroes play at the Twins, in their home opener.  On Friday, Astros are off. Saturday and Sunday are also at MN.
    Just coincidental, or is there some objective reasoning for the Friday off in the middle of a series?

    teams charge so much for the home opener (dynamic pricing!) that they schedule a rainout day so they don’t have to refund all that $$$.
  2. P Ryan still around here? Haven't seen that dude in years.

    he’s still in houston. built a wildly successful company with a business partner and now focuses a ton of time and energy (and cash) on sports collectibles.

  3. I’ve known p.ryan since we were underclassmen at UT and recently visited his house to see his collection in person. it’s really amazing. seeing his stuff and also reading Ball Four and Joe Posnanski’s Baseball 100 last year gave me the itch to get into some vintage cards. as a kid i started with ‘87 topps but always loved the look of the 1971 set. decided i’d try to collect every HoF from that set. took a couple months, but got all the players plus the managers who were elected as players.
