Funko does collecting right as they have such a wide variety of franchises under their belt. I love sports as much as the next guy and the way Funko has brought some real life player to the collectible circuit is awesome. They cover so much ground from wrestling, basketball, football, and even golf. Baseball fans […]

Ahh, it is the best day of the year. It is Opening Day for Major League Baseball, where everyone is 0-0 (well, except the Mariners and A's) and hope spring eternal for all (well, except the Orioles and Marlins). This should be an interesting year in the MLB, as the offseason had record signings with […]
Baseball is a time-honored summer tradition, and it's something the whole family can enjoy. Oriole Park at Camden Yards is also one of the most beautiful and family-friendly parks in the MLB. Their new expanded Kids Corner is great for families with children, and who can forget the Kids Cheer Free promotion? Children 9 and […]
The Sandlot has its 15th anniversary this year, and to help celebrate Funko has produced a wave of Pops. From the second these were announced, I knew I would be buying them all. Sandlot is one of my all-time favorite films, and next to Field of Dreams one of the best baseball films as well. […]
Pat Neshek, relief pitcher fro the Philadelphia Phillies, has not started the current season on the right foot. At least on the field — he is on the disabled list with a shoulder strain.

I'm alive, and I don't need a witness to know that I survived. I'm not looking for forgiveness. I just need light. I need light in the dark as I search for…The Weekly Static! So while I text my apologies to Jack's Mannequin and before we pull the ripcord on all of this…I'm going to […]
I thought it was pretty cool that we are still discovering stuff like this out in the wild. A 1930s used baseball bat? Who hangs on to that all this time? Baseball is a game steeped in history, more than any other sport. Sometimes that is to its detriment, but I think we can all […]

I think we've all, at one point or another, walked into a thrift store or Goodwill and had that rush of excitement at the possible treasures we could find. As an action figure collector, there is usually something available. My best find was about 20 vintage Star Wars figures all complete for my loose collection […]
Comic book stores are coming late to the fidget spinner craze. The first Fidget Spinners will make it to comic stores through Diamond Comic Distributors in July, courtesy of Zuru.
