Make the Team in Baseball (1960)

don't worry, I haven't turned this into a baseball blog all of a sudden (especially not with the way Chicago teams have been playing). I just wanted to share my excitement at this week finding this book I'd forgotten I owned. bought at a thrift store, obviously (could they NOT write the price in permanent marker on vintage book covers?!):
 

the team logos on the cover are stickers (they seem like fabric)--it was pointed out to me that some definitely had to be newer than 1960. there are more on the inside front cover:

I love the illustration on the back. there are other books in the series but this is the only one I own.

and a sample illustration from the inside. there are drawings and photos. not as much fun as the hockey instruction book I have from the same era, but I might have more to post from it. (I've also posted these on my secondary Flickr account where I post things like this.)

Opening Day

we interrupt this (lack of blogging about) very important hockey news, for this: baseball opening day with Yankees vs Red Sox, starting right at the same time as Sharks vs Avalanche game (with playoff implications)! it's fun to watch two sports at once online!

I was all excited thinking this was the first time I'd watched baseball online (I never tried to find it until I had to start watching hockey that way), then I remembered I did watch some of the World Series online...

home opener for the White Sox is tomorrow, with Blackhawks players making a special appearance. I wish I could go (despite being a Cubs fan)...
