Today is a very special Happy Baseball Birthday! / Blog Bat Around post as we celebrate an amazing baseball fan, Sarah Langs.
Sarah, who's turning 31 today, is a baseball fan and MLB.com /MLB Network researcher who probably knows more about the games history than I do, even though I'm 30+ years older.

A great time on Saturday w/my card collecting freinds, Dennis, and Jeff, at the twice a year show in my hometown of Kalamazoo, Michigan. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
? Not pictured- Jeff's cousin, Kevin, part of Sluggos Sports Cards
? ? It was very nice of Dennis to make the trek from Ann Arbor to the east, braving the freezing temps, and, to give me a ride home after the show was over.
? He also found two very cool cards of Tyler Boyd in Jeff's dollar boxes, they'll go into the ever growing BOYD Binder today.
Have a terrific day, and, hopefully, another post will be coming up soon, featuring ..read more

It's been a tough year in the Motor City this baseball season, w/ my beloved Detroit Tigers sitting at 38-49 before Saturday's game against the visiting Blue Jays.
After being pounded around their own ballpark Friday night, 12-2 vs Toronto, the Tigers lived up to the old "put it behind us" "baseballism," with a 2-0 win over their Canadian counterparts, making history along the way.
Three Detroit pitchers, starter
Matt Manning, reliever Jason Foley, and closer Alex Lange, no-hit the Blue Jays, the first time in Tigers history that the team had a "combined" no-no!
