@grapler135s Its kind of a sad comment on the partiality of the Hall, but I have a lot of thoughts on some people who have gotten in, questionable at best! @darkman Totally agree, I mean, it was 30+ years ago that he was gambling on the Reds, baseball should have long ago moved past that!

Let's get some discussion going about this topic, as Pete himself has said on numerous occasions that he thinks baseball will induct him after his passing. I think if we have inducted people who were racists, womanizers, steroid users, and everyone in between, Pete being a gambler (among other...

Pete was a complex, and often polarizing figure in baseball. I grew up loving watching him diving headfirst into a base, running out every hit, and fielding like his life depended on it! There was never another player more versatile, as he played 24 seasons, making 17 All Star Teams at 5...

Mutombo was a great player, that's a real shame. I remember him being dominant in the 90s as a great shot blocker: I loved his famous "Not in my house!" finger wag after a huge block!

@zlw1 @dragonslayer913 @AndyDrummond I'm upset that this happens, but even more so that it happens often enough that there's a term for it!! "Panini'd!!"

John Ashton, best known for his role opposite Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop, passed at age 76. Always my favorite scene...."I know the perfect place, you guys will love it.....TRUST ME!"

We went to our alma mater a few weeks ago for the Homecoming game, the 100th Homecoming in Illinois Football history! We had a blast! Tons of cool mementos, game programs, pins, and an amazing display in Memorial Stadium featuring Red Grange's jersey!

Kristofferson acted, sang, wrote....he was mutli-talented, and I will always remember him best as a member of The Highwaymen, along with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson. .

Pm sent!

Dame Maggie Smith, a British acting legend for many decades, passed today at age 89. She is best known for the Harry Potter movies and Downton Abbey, though she has acted on stage, television and screen for so many years.

@horfin @mcgwirenut @zlw1 @Calsp3 I have had similar engagements with my local USPS, they drive me CRAZY! Literally, so many easy things that are just made so much more difficult. SIGH. Cheers! Kevin

Mercury was a tremendous player, with an unfortunately troubled life outside of football. He was also a prolific autograph signer, with a really cool signature as well:

Tito Jackson, elder brother of Michael and longtime Jackson 5 singer dies of a heart attack at age 70.

Looks like Informed Delivery is down as well, not sure for how long?

Got a fantastic return today from my favorite Illini basketball player, Roger Powell Jr. My friend gave me this magazine, and Rev signed with an orange paint pen, looks awesome! He included 3 signed cards too, one for each of our kids!

NFL Hall of Fame middle linebacker Joe Schmidt passed at age 92. A great Detroit Lion, and a generous autograph signer as well.

@grapler135s Forgot he was in that! Classic movie!

Chad McQueen, son of legendary movie star Steve McQueen passed today at age 63. None of his family ever lived to be old: his sister Terry passed at age 38 in 1998, and his father died at age 50 in 1980. The resemblance between father and son is striking:

@horfin I agree with @zlw1 and @JDog I think those are both really good thoughts, you may also want to take it up with the local postmaster, since that is an absurdly high rate of "lost" items. USPS is really struggling. I just sent an envelope with 2 autographed items to my best friend who...
