Busch League: St. Louis Party Report

One very hectic week later, and with apologies for the delay, here’s the full rundown on the St. Looey shindig.

In Which I Finally Find God (and it has 22 heads, just like I always figured)

The highlight of my recent trip to St. Louis wasn’t the food (although I’ll get to that tomorrow) or the Uni Watch party (ditto) or the croquet (ditto-ditto).

The Day When Every Team Should Wear Powder Blue

There’s no getting around it: The pink Mother’s Day accessories look a lot better when you’re already wearing a pastel tone to begin with. At the other end of the spectrum, the pink gear looks particularly bad if you’re playing dress-up soldier.

So how many pink accoutrements did you count yesterday? I spotted . . . → Read More: The Day When Every Team Should Wear Powder Blue

Tim & Bill's NFL Uniform Project - Part I -

By Phil Hecken

No, the team you see listed above in today’s splash photo isn’t some kind of crazy “cross sport concept uniform” by one of the many tweakers who contribute to Uni Watch. What you’re looking at is an outstanding graphical representation of the 1936 Pittsburgh Pirates, who finished that season with . . . → Read More: Tim & Bill’s NFL Uniform Project – Part I – “Bill’s Story”
