I like how Dusty is shirtless and the Piazza boys are dressed for a Norristown snowball fight.

Boy, it must have been really good to be Ralph Kiner back in the day.

There was the visit to the booth from John Travolta -- likely in 1985 because I believe he was plugging PERFECT, a film starring him and Jamie Lee Curtis -- where Ralph chimes in with, oh yeah, I used to date her mother (Janet Leigh) after Jamie Lee's name came up.



Travolta, though a Jersey/NYC kid, probably had no idea who that old man in the corner was (Ralph would have then been 62) but his face suddenly had a look of profound respect on it. Playa recognizing Playa.

What is the policeman holding in that Kiner picture? A dogchain?

[Edgy MD]

I think it's the stanchion chain that needed to be pulled aside for the power couple's arrival.

One of my favorites from many moons ago now. I had read in the Sunday

paper (remember those?) that the final piece of The Ol' Girl was going down

that Monday so we took a ride out for a final farewell.

Your work ?? Are you on Twitter? That card looks more like Z's work than a Typewriter card though.
