Anybody in the House? Today's walk through the 1952 @topps set features Detroit Tigers Frank House card #146. Frank played for 11 seasons for multiple clubs. This Alabama native son signed his pro contact in Hueytown where he attended High School. He was in the state legislature after baseball and passed away in 2005 in Birmingham. Frank was inducted in the Alabama Sports Hall.of fame. This colorful Tigers card is another great addition to any set @CardPurchaser

Throughout my 24 years in the Air Force, I carried an American flag with me on every mission I flew in the A-10, both in training and combat.

For me, the flag will always be about memories, service, and those who gave their lives protecting this country.

Someone needs this jewel in their heart and home. Could you give Diamond her furever home?

"All of a sudden, Frank Robinson’s sitting over by showers and he’s got this funky mop on.
He wore this thing like an English judge.
It was only when we won and you could bring any case up you wanted.
The locker room was closed to the press and they weren’t really crazy about that".
Boog Powell.
Frank Robinson didn’t punish players for physical errors, but fines for mental mistakes were automatic.
Those included pitchers giving up homers on 0-2 counts or base runners being thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple with either no outs or two outs in an inning.
If you failed on the bases, you lost more than money.
An old beat-up shoe would hang on your locker, Frank’s “base running” award.
Frank Robinson also had a “long ball” award:
A seized ball he hung in the locker of the pitcher who gave up the longest dinger.
And there was the “redass” award, a toilet seat painted red.
It was for hotheads.
Court would vote, with a thumbs up or down, on fining players for missing signs, uniform mishaps or other infractions.
"The Kangaroo Court."
The Court is in session.
Judge Frank Robinson presiding.
His clerk was Brooks Robinson.
All fines must be paid before the next game.
Sometimes part of the court money goes to a team party;
Sometimes part of it is donated to charity; sometimes it’s split among the batboys.
When the 1969 season ended, Frank Robinson got his teammates to agree to contribute the Kangaroo Court fines to Cincinnati catcher Pat Corrales, whose wife had died giving birth during the season.
The next season, Pat Corrales made the final out when the Orioles won the World Series.
Later, Don Baylor later started his own Kangaroo Court with the Oakland A's.
Baylor once fined Rickey Henderson for saying:
"2/3 of fans will go to see Rickey,
2/3 to see Billy,
And 2/3 to see the Yankees"!!!!!

"What do you think of the nerve of that big monkey calling his shot, and getting away with it?"
Lou Gehrig.
With the score tied 4-4 in the fifth inning of game three, Babe Ruth took strike one from Charlie Root.
As the Cubs players heckled Ruth, their fans hurled insults and lemons.
Some fans had spit on Claire, Babe Ruth's wife.
Babe Ruth held up his hand pointing at either Charlie Root, the Cubs dugout or center field.
He then repeated this gesture after taking strike two.
Charlie Root's next pitch was a curveball that Ruth hit at least 440 feet to the deepest part of the center-field near the flag pole, some estimates are as much as 490 feet.
The ground distance to the center-field corner, somewhat right of straightaway center was 440 feet.
The ball landed a little bit to the right of the 440 corners and farther back, apparently in the temporary seating in Sheffield Avenue behind the permanent interior bleacher seats.
Calling the game over the radio, broadcaster Tom Manning shouted:
"The ball is going, going, going, high into the center-field stands.....
And it is a home run!"
Babe Ruth himself later described the hit as, "past the flagpole" which stood behind the scoreboard and the 440 corners.
"Well, I looked out at center field and I pointed.
I said:
"'I'm gonna hit the next pitched ball right past the flagpole!'
Well, the good Lord must have been with me.
I didn't have to look.
But I did.
That ball just went on and on and on and hit far up in the center-field bleachers in exactly the spot I had pointed to."
Babe Ruth.
"You should have seen those Cubs.
There they were-all out on the top step and yelling their brains out.
And then you connected and they watched it and then fell back as if they were being machine-gunned."
Earle Combs to Babe Ruth.
Attending the game was Franklin D. Roosevelt, soon-to-be-elected 32nd President of the United States, as well as future Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court John Paul Stevens, who at the time was a twelve-year-old boy.

Honoring Lt. Colleen Cain: Coast Guard Aviation Trailblazer Lieutenant Colleen Cain, a trailblazing officer from Burlington, Iowa, made history as the U.S. Coast Guard’s third female aviator and its first female HH-52 Seaguard helicopter pilot. Commissioned through Officer Candidate School in 1976, she earned her wings in 1979 and quickly qualified as co-pilot, pilot, and aircraft https://t.co/DMSQMkLkAS her short but impactful career, Lt. Cain flew numerous search-and-rescue missions, saving lives in some of the toughest conditions. She became the first Coast Guard woman to receive the Coast Guard Achievement Medal for her outstanding service.Tragically, on January 7, 1982, while serving as co-pilot on a rescue mission out of Barbers Point, Hawaii, her HH-52 helicopter crashed into a mountainside in heavy rain, high winds, and near-zero visibility. The crew was responding to a distressed fishing vessel. Lt. Cain, age 29, along with the pilot and crewman, made the ultimate sacrifice. She became the first woman in Coast Guard history to die in the line of duty.Her courage and pioneering spirit opened doors for generations of women in Coast Guard aviation. Lt. Colleen Cain embodied “Semper Paratus”—always ready—to serve and protect. A true hero we remember with pride. #CoastGuard #WomenInAviation #HonorTheFallen

🆘🆘 SQUIRREL (ID 198752), 5 YO, MALE– IN MANHATTAN ACC - came into the shelter as an owner surrender on 4/23/2026, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- cannot afford to care for. 🆘🆘 😿 😿 😿 😿

➡️TBD 6/13/26

➡️ TOO LOW ON PLEDGES TO STIMULATE RESCUE INTEREST

➡️🆘🆘 6TH Chance on Emergency Placement List – VERY RARE – SHELTER AT CAPACITY - COULD BE LAST CALL FOR SQUIRREL- VERY HIGH EU/SILENT KILL RISK– 🆘🆘 😱🔥🔥😱

➡50 DAYS IN SHELTER – TOO LONG – TIME IS RUNNING OUT

➡️ SQUIRREL IS ON THE EPL FOR BEHAVIORAL REASONS -He is not thriving in the care center and continues to display distance-increasing behavior when approached for interactions. He has not warmed up despite staff using treats to build a positive association. This designation often means that the cat will be given very little time for rescue/foster/adoption.🔥🔥🔥🔥

What my friends at ACC say about me: I am looking for a home with a patient person. I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe. Squirrel is not open to interaction at this time and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. Because his previous owner reports he is quiet, friendly, and affectionate in a home environment, we believe the behavior seen in the care center is shelter-specific and this cat would make a great pet but is really struggling in the shelter environment. For a New Family to Know: Squirrel's prior owner describes him as quiet, friendly, affectionate, active and playful. He likes to be where people are so would hang out in the living room, bedroom and kitchen and would also sit in a window. He is described as playing gently and likes to chase and pounce on toys and to stalk and pounce on feet. Squirrel received interactive play approximately 20 times a month and likes to scratch on horizontal surfaces such as rough rope or carpet/fabric. In his prior home he was on a wet food only diet and preferred Sheba non pate type food -- his favorite flavors are trout or salmon. His prior owner says that Squirrel has no behavior issues and is just purrfect! ❤️ 😻❤️ 😻❤️ 😻

NEEDS OUT OF SHELTER ASAP –

Please RT or pledge, if you can, to save this little one.

Trying to stop putting myself last.

My health, happiness, and heart matter. Even if they’re small wins, every win matters.

Trying to put myself first on my own list of priorities today.
