- First of all, have a very cool event going down on this evening (Saturday) at our store; Jack Rooney, who grew up next to Shibe Park in the 1920s and 30s, recently wrote a book about his experience called Bleaches in the Bedroom. He’ll be in the store to talk about growing up next door to Shibe Park and about the 1929 A’s.
- We’ll also have Scott Alberts of the Philadelphia Athletic baseball club talking about baseball in Philly in the 1860s. We’ll also have free beer and snacks. You can read more and RSVP here.
- Speaking of 1860s, I did some serious detective work on an 1860s lithograph I think some of you guys will get a kick out of.
- I want to know what topics you want to see more of at quizzo, and I also want to know your favorite poem (which by posting you can earn points in the JGTAI). Lemme have ’em over on the Facebook page.
- We had a first this week, as #1 Government Team Competitor and Superfluity tied for the 2nd straight week. Never had that happen before with the same two teams on consecutive weeks.
- Pics will be posted later this weekend. JGTAI scores will be posted Monday. We’ll also have the return of the JGT Power Rankings this week as well.
- We’re having an OKtoberfest Day of Games at City Tap House next Saturday. More details coming Monday.
