Interlude in a Shalosky 
A long, long time ago, when I was just a young tyke the first baseball team that I fell for was the St. Louis Cardinals. This was way back in the sixties but they had players like Lou Brock, Orlando Cepeda, Tim McCarver and others. Also, they had my very favorite pitcher of all in Bob Gibson. Well, they made it to the Series that year and were expected to just pulverize the Detroit Tigers. Although the Tigers had a 30 game winner in a kid named Denny McClain.
Detroit broke my young, little heart that year by winning the series and sending my Cards back to St. Louis with their tails between their legs. It was years before I could even utter the word "Detroit."
However, being the magnanimous person that I am, I would be glad to see them win it this year.... No one can say that I hold a grudge.............
Happy anniversary!
Bob Gibson is my all time favorite pitcher, too. I got to see him pitch in person once. That was a real thrill.A long, long time ago, when I was just a young tyke the first baseball team that I fell for was the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cards might have won game seven if Curt Flood hadn't misplayed that fly ball to the outfield.
Happy Anniversary, Dottlejockey!

Dipping into my dwindling MacBaren Old Dark Fired stash. What a treat. Smoking it in a Peterson System Standard B42.

Half way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Getting ready to clean a few pipes as I watch the reds-Dodgers game.
and a Happy Anniversary to you, too, Servant King!
That is a Classy pipe!Per Jensen King’s Watch in an Il Ceppo
Every time we visit TN, or NC etc I love it, but I get lost without a horizon and my wife tires of me noting that I can shoot farther than I can see all the time. But I’m definitely thinking of a more wooded retirement.

Had some Three Nuns in a Peterson Arklow Dublin. Celebrating my teams win over the Tigers today, hoping that we can pull another win tomorrow but if they beat us I'll gladly cheer em on against whoever they're up against. Us Rust Belt teams gotta stick together.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2021 Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is snoozin' in the bed room.
Now smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1984 medium bend black grain etched Savinelli Non Pareil 9310 pokerish dublin with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite flared stem. It's time to check on the ferals.

Also, I’m very intrigued by your Cordial/ODF mixture, I have some cult blood red moon that I’m looking to modify a tad…
