I remember that Dodgers guy




Do the Dodgers create pitchers out of thin air??  It seems like they just get new ones every year.

These are just a few examples of pitching prowess.  We're getting close to Spring Training!!  Another year for the Jays to try their hand at a World Series ring.

I am working on getting recent photos scanned and usable on the blog, which is working so far!

Greg, hope you are doing well in snowy upstate New York, it is crazy weather this year.  Speaking of that, I've been in Florida 10 years now and I experienced ice on the windshield for the first time.  UGH

Hope everyone is surviving the wintry blasts!!  Be safe, Robert

Can't please all the people--CPAP


1959 Topps, I remember why I scanned this.  I know the set is close to completion.  Need Yogi Berra and Sandy Koufax and Mickey Mantle among other stars.  



I remember scanning Larry Fitzgerald cards, love these that I got from an old envelope from Dennis who sent me some cardboard goodness a couple of years back.  Talk about a posting delay!!

It feels good to figure out this stuff again.  


Seeing as it is near Olympic time, how about an old photo of Andrew McCutchen in a USA baseball uniform??  It took me 3 tries to type uniform!!  LOL

Feeling better even though what I am typing is random, of course.  Random?  sure, you can't CPAP--Can't please all people with my posts.  But I am trying.  

Have fun everyone!!  Robert

Heritage post



 It's been 2 years since I have posted and I am finding old images on the computer to post.

LOL, this image currently means nothing to me.    I don't even know why I scanned it.

  Corey Seager is cool, can't remember why I scanned this one.  Maybe because it is #'d to 99!!

so have fun, have some laughs as I try and jog my memory by posting old scans to see what I was thinking previously.  Remember, I'm still trying to fix myself.  

Have a great Sunday, Robert.


Post #2 of the new era.

 


I somewhat figured it out to enter pictures!!This is the fists care that reminded me of the journey that is left. 


I also am reminded at how terrible my typing is.  Typing and retyping words due to the positioning of my hands on the keyboard.  HA HA HA HA

Oh well, keeping on going is what is going to help me.  I have to become a little more normal again, writing these posts will help.  

Stick around, read some of my old stuff if you want.  Blow me up with comments, good or bad.

My name is Robert just in case you forgot.  Thank you for reading, it helps.

Therapy

Is has been  a couple of years since I've posted.  This post is going to be therapy for me.

I had a stroke last summer.  It truly fucked me up on my left side.

I am working on a "2026 get well" tour.  This week I go to see a sleep doctor, and get a CPAP machine.  Needed to be done!  The sleep study I had done last month certainly opened my eyes.  When I say "sleep study"  I say it jokingly because of how it is done, I didn't get great sleep that day.  But I did learn a lot.

After that I will work on my left eye.  Get the cataract removed, starting the process.  Try and see again.

Maybe I will start writing a bit more.  It helps me.  When they talk about mental well being, this works a bit.  I get to talk to everyone.  

I hope you are all doing well out there/  I really do.  I went through a month of physical and occupational therapy., walked with a walker and a cane and slowly built some strength in my left leg.  

Apparently, trying to load a photo of a card, I learned Blogger has changed.  It is not letting me do it.  I will eventually figure if out.  I look forward to trying to take some time and read some of my favorite blogs.  If you want send me a link.

I've got the rest of 2026 to try and work on myself.  Lost 50 lbs so far, have another 35 to get to my goad of less than 200!!

So, if you were wondering what happened to me, that is a part of the story.  Sene me an email if you wish.  Drop me a line.  Say, hi!  I'm still here :)
