    • The most Hall of Famers, update 20 (the final one, sort of)
      Ever since I dropped cable, I haven't viewed much of the Hall of Fame's annual induction ceremony, which used to be a regular must-watch. I saw a little bit of it on YouTube the other day and watched as the players already in the Hall were introduced at the beginning.

      I haven't written hardly anything about the passing of Willie Mays, except for a single tweet.Like everyone else, I marvel at his career, as best as I can for someone who saw none of it. He was on the wrong side of the Dodgers-Giants rivalry, too, so the best I can do is some version of "wow, look at those stats."But there were plenty of other people willing to pay tribute on social media. ...2024

     The first details on 2024 Heritage, featuring the 1975 Topps design, have come out.There's nothing about the key info -- release date -- but there's enough to get people fired up. The main complaint is that the short-prints are shifting from the back fifth of the set, cards 401-500, to the front fifth, 1-100. I don't really know why Topps did this.
