Missives of a Baseball Milquetoast

It's been just about a year since my last birthday post which means…it's time for another one!

Wait. December? Don't forget when it's winter here, it's summer over there, mates! Behold the Green and Gold! I like the gold felt "A" here against the dark green crown and bill but I really hope people don't mistake me for an Oakland Athletics fan.
