Tucking glove under armpit to rub baseball while staring contemplatively into middle distance was a popular 1963 @Topps pose. Maybe the work of same NY-based photographer? @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry https://t.co/FK9Vp8QL8q — PolitiTweet.org

@CardboardHistry The last play I saw in that game. Huge @Pirates fan, turned off tv & went for walk when he booted that ball. To this day haven’t seen Bream’s score. Heard it was close. Still can’t watch the highlight. — PolitiTweet.org

@bzboy24 @sigg20 @baseballhall And he went 23-7 with a 2.60 ERA! (After that, age quickly caught up; he was 6-13 and 7-16 the next 2 seasons.) — PolitiTweet.org

Check out this box score. Facing @baseballhall pitchers Spahn & Marichal, 5 Hall of Famers (Aaron, Mathews, Mays, McCovey, Cepeda) went a combined 4-for-26. Spahn’s last great season. — PolitiTweet.org

@parachini_jr Looks like they had most of the 1980 cards in the can before the 1979 season was even over. Cartoon on @OmarMoreno79 notes he led NL in SB in 1978 — but he also led league in 1979. @FFSClark https://t.co/zS3d2MCjlH — PolitiTweet.org

@Chesterfield359 @Topps @Pirates @MadlockBill @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @WaxPackGods Foli & @MadlockBill were key in-season acquisitions for Bucs that year. Interesting that @Topps got a pic of Foli in uniform for the ‘80 set but had to airbrush Madlock. — PolitiTweet.org

Looked thru 1980 @Topps for 1st time in decades & recalled huge disappointment: no mention anywhere of 1979 @Pirates World Championship or Stargell’s MVPs for season/NLCS/WS. Great team! @TheRealSangy @MadlockBill @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @WaxPackGods https://t.co/d5YLz6qFFG — PolitiTweet.org

@CardboardHistry Love the fake TV cards! The ‘55 Bowmans & ‘67 Topps WS cards as well. The notion of being able to watch a moving image on something you could hold in your hand was pure fantasy at the time. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday to Darryl Jones, who played 5 weeks w @Yankees in 1979 before long career as insurance agent in Conneaut Lake, Pa. He & brother Lynn reached Bigs from tiny Harmonsburg, Pa. @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry https://t.co/2Kbr32hhdZ — PolitiTweet.org

Laughed out loud a few times on the Washington Metro when I first read this book in the 1980s. The Montana Slim zigzagging truck scene in Kerouac's On The Road was my loudest public guffaw for some reason, but Confederacy of Dunces supplied more outbursts. — PolitiTweet.org

@CardboardHistry Still have both first editions (from used book stores; I’m not that old) after reading them 30+ years ago. Not as spicy as Ball Four but I remember liking both and thinking Brosnan is a smart guy who can write. https://t.co/pmWKoxfKLS — PolitiTweet.org

@HeavyJ28 @MarkArmour04 @MitchNathanson @robneyer Still have my first edition, which I read cover to cover as an elementary schooler. Didn’t fully appreciate all the humor at the time but gave me an early appreciation of vintage cards. Refreshingly devoid of any discussion of card values. https://t.co/Arh779TFcZ — PolitiTweet.org
