The Top Three Stories From The Dodgers' Opening Day

Opening Day. Short season, weird rules, universal DH, and  pandemic. Suffice to say, I was not enthused. Then it was 24 hours away and I could feel the annual excitement growing. 

By game time yesterday, I had the Opening Day Party ready to go in the garage, and cold beers in the fridge. 

It did not disappoint. Here are my top three takeaways from the glorious stomping the Dodgers laid upon the Giants on Opening Day 2020. 

Enjoy and aloha!

My New PC Chase: Mike Garcia

Aloha, everybody,

I discovered Mike Garcia in a random box at last year's National in Chicago.

The opportunities to actually find his cards...perhaps lesser.
