i have r.e.m. on my mind currently as i have recently purchased tickets to see the michael shannon/jason narducy r.e.m. tribute show for the third consecutive year, and the post title comes from a line in their song "king of birds". i also have dodger baseball on my mind, and the title fit this card
as a young bill singer is shown in dodger stadium on his 1989 smokey dodger greats card. dodger stadium, and california in general, always brings its siren song out when i return for a visit. maybe someday i will move back, but that would be several years out yet.
i've had that singer card for quite some time, but recently acquired a second copy so i can add one to my dodger stadium collection now. same goes for this 2021 topps chrome update max muncy all-star game card
muncy was the starting dh for the national league in the game. note that the card uses a photo of muncy that is not from the game - 2022 was the first year that these inserts were made to be game specific (except for the few subjects who did not attend the all-star game festivities). behind muncy is one of the static billboards shaped to mimic the two scoreboards over the pavilions. this particular advertisement is for estrella jalisco which is a mexican pilsner that i have not tried. when it comes to mexican beer, i've had dos equis, corona, and tecate. i've also had a beer called chihuahua, but i think that is an american beer. next time i'm at dodger stadium, i will give estrella jalisco a try. hopefully that is sometime in 2026.
