Fright Fest time for the Buffs. It’s been that kind of season. Have a Happy and safe Halloween.

With the World Series now going to Game 7, I’m feeling a bit nostalgic for days gone by. Oh, well. There’s always next year. Or the year after that. Or the year after that. I’m drawing live for ESPN.com tomorrow night so expect a World Series cartoon and a Boulder Daily Camera cartoon on Saturday morning!
But here’s the cool news:
You are invited to this fun afternoon event next Saturday, November 5 from 3:00 to 6:00 at MVP Sports in the Belmar Shopping Center with me and my pal, Kyle Banister, the Nations Best Baseball artist!
We’ll be signing prints and selling originals (great holiday gifts) and who knows what all. Kyle makes some pretty mean baseball themed guitars and has a great print to commemorate the 2011 World Series. Afterwards you’re welcome to join us just across the street to watch the Alabama-LSU game at the Baker St. Pub and Grill. We’ll have a blast! So come on by! I’ll give you some more details early next week.
Here’s whatcha need to know for now:
Saturday, November 5 · 3:00pm – 6:00pm
Location
MVP Sports: Cards, Memorabilia and Art
414 S Teller St, in the Belmar Shopping Center

The Buffs have a long ways to go before they are able to play in the same league as teams like the Oregon Ducks. The rebuilding will be painful and will require Buffs fans to be very patient. This is the state of the program that Dan Hawkins left. Much like the Broncos Josh McDaniel’s error, a coach and his regime dismantled what was left of a proud program.

Today’s cartoon was drawn for ESPN.com

It ain’t got no…Philadelphia Phillies.
It ain’t got no…New York Yankees.
It ain’t got no…Boston Red Sox.
No. It’s Texas vs St. Louis, which in and of itself just doesn’t sound right. When I was growing up in Texas we had two sports. Football and spring Football practice. So baseball in Texas still doesn’t seem right. Actually I saw my first pro baseball game as a kid at the Astrodome when the Astros were playing I dunno. They gave away this cool baseball game at the gate when you walked in and I played with it the whole game. I never even looked at the players on the field. I had my own imagination…
The second pro baseball game I saw was the summer of 76 when the Rangers were playing the Detroit Tigers and some kid named Mark “The Bird” Fidrych was pitching. Now that was a blast. Not every day you can watch a grown man on a mound of dirt talking to a baseball. Fidrych was actually a pretty great pitcher that summer. He led the major leagues with a 2.34 ERA, won the AL Rookie of the Year award, and finished with a 19-9 record.
The only other connection I have to the Rangers is the only autographed baseball I own. Nolan Ryan’s foundation sent it for a cartoon I gave them of Ryan taking Robin Ventura to the woodshed during an infamous brawl they had in the 90′s.
So I invite you to share your World Series Memories with me. Did you listen in class as a kid? Have a favorite moment or team that won it all? I’d love to hear about it!

Tebow Time!. Finally. After the long wait. He’s not quite prime time ready but, hey, he’s playing. And that can be nothing but fun ahead. Let me know what you think!
