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.


Bill Singer. Also an original Blue Jay.. Threw the first pitch in the first game in 1977
ReplyDeleteI don't drink beer very often... so I'd rather have a Mexican soda. Give me a Jarritos Mandarin. Congratulations on the G2 win.
