I have seven stadium seats and two bleacher sections
Category: Sports
I got two seats and two teller window bars from the Pimlico Race Course
Pimlico, home of the Preakness in Baltimore, is being torn down and rebuilt. I found out about the auction from this article:
Pimlico Race Course is full of artifacts. Where will they go when it is razed?
Here are the auction site photos of the items I won.

Photos I took at Pimlico on June 3, 2025:
The two seats and two teller window bars that I won at the auction. I am working on getting stands so I can put the seats upright. They don’t have feet because they were attached to concrete.
See this post for my memories about going to the Preakness:
Instagram post on All-Star ballots
I remember the punch-card ballots. As an Orioles fan, I would vote for Orioles players for the AL team. I would vote for the worst players for the NL team to increase the AL chances of winning and make the NL look bad.

More on four home runs in one game
The latest four home run game was on April 26th.

ESPN’s poor coverage of the Ravens Mike Green pick
ESPN gave very little TV time to the Green pick and rushed on to the next one.
Their website had this without noting why Green fell to 59: “There was less than a 1% chance that Green would be available at the No. 59 spot, according to ESPN’s Draft Day Predictor.”
‘Screwball’ is an amazing steroid story
‘Screwball’ (2018) is a documentary about the Florida part of the baseball Biogenesis PED scandal. It features interviews plus news broadcasts from the time. There are recreations of scenes with kids playing the roles of the participants – this is an entertaining way to present this hard-to-believe scandal.
I recommend it very much – funny, wild, informative.
