    Luis Tiant Dies at Age 83.

    I'm sad to hear that one of my favorite pitchers as a young man, Luis Tiant, has passed away. We used to have contests trying to imitate his pitching motion; I almost always won. He was a real character with a lot of character. Loved those big cigars that he smoked after a win. His pitching...

    Jim's Sutliff Maple Shadows II 2024 Review.

    This goes on sale today at 6 p.m. EST. I can’t detect any differences between this year’s MS and last year’s, so I’m essentially repeating the older review. The dark fired Kentucky provides a fair amount of earth, wood, peaty vegetation, herbs, floralness, some spice, nuts, mild sourness, and a...

    Jim's C&D Golden Days of Yore 2024 Review.

    The Katerini provides a moderate amount of smoke, herbs, floralness, earth, wood, spicy, sourness, and light sweetness. It takes a very small lead chiefly due to its inherent floral quality.

    Jack Kirby's 107 Birthday.

    Jack Kirby would have been 107 today. He was more than a great comic book editor/writer/artist. He influenced generations of comics creators, film makers, and fans as a never ending fountain of concepts that have touched all corners of this planet. To those of us who knew him, Jack was even more...
