I love my Catholic faith, my wife and three sons, my alma mater (Auburn), and old school baseball. 99% of my posts will involve one of the above.

The triumph along with the cross/journey captured in one pic. So proud of & happy for all the team, but especially Alex! 🙏🏻❤️🦅
The moment Alex McPherson was lifted into the air by his teammates, celebrating Auburn's win over Georgia last night. One of my favorite, if not my favorite photo I've taken at an Auburn sporting event. Super happy for Alex. Photo by Luca Flores / The Auburn Plainsman

Talk about good timing! AU was off so I roadtripped from Auburn to ND to visit a friend & catch BC @ ND game. Had a great view of the 54-7 beat down AND the filming of “Rudy”. I snapped this pic of them carrying Rudy off the field…had no idea how big the film would be! 😂☘️
Throwback Thursday. The 1992 NBC broadcast of Notre Dame - Boston College checked in on the filming of Rudy, with scenes being shot at halftime. Cris Collinsworth thought they should put him in.

Terry Crowley👇🏻 doing a great imitation of Phoebe’s running! 😂👍
Be sure to vote in today’s 3 different polls for best “catcher card” for Bench, Fisk & Munson. And while #Tugboat’s poll is (unsurprisingly) just a 2-card race, I’m not sure anyone in the ‘70s got better cameos than the #Yankees captain. Here are 4 awesome Munson “bonus cards”.😍

I love common/inexpensive vintage cards with a story! 👍 @CardsStory
So many random cards I just can’t get rid of!🤷‍♂️ Take these 2 #RedSox cards: An inkling ‘67 was going to be magical when a rookie pitcher AND catcher both made their MLB debuts & were 1-out from no-hitting Whitey & #Yankees!🤯 4/14/67 NYY home opener; Rohr got the 3-0 1-hit CG W!

Hey @ronanders2020 - I thought you’d get a kick out of the story below. Tho disappointed as a 7 yr old, Anders was the store I had my charge acct with as an AU student for books (& AU paraphernalia). Great memories!
This ‘79 ad makes me smile. I was 7; Dad bought program on way into town Sat morning. Parked close to stadium but I pushed to skip AU Bookstore & walk all the way to @AndersBookstore. I was crushed to realize no huge pic of Trotman, Andrews & Cribbs was on their wall!😢🤷‍♂️😂 #WDE

A personal nod to my Dad. From his 1st day of opening his practice to his last day, 45 yrs & more than 10K delivered babies later, Dad’s always been a role model for my older brother & me. And like so many of you, sports have given us so many special moments together. 🙏🏻❤️

My childhood Irish priest became like a grandfather to me such that I named my 1st son Brendan after him. We often poked fun at each other, so on one #StPatricksDay I joked about how St Patrick was from England, not Ireland. I got a look & never made that joke again!😂☘️🇮🇪🙏🏻

I hate that @AuburnFootball programs quit showing opposing team players & now has morphed into a single yearbook. 😖 So fun to see opposing players AU faced. 1954 #FSU game featured a future ⭐️ at left half (#46) who’d go by Burt & his backup would become pretty famous too!

Came up on this scene while driving home from church Sunday. I didn’t think to ask why exactly they were crossing. 🤦‍♂️😞 #MissedOpportunity

Your task for today: Find another player whose first AND last name rhyme with the team he played for. I’ve got Ted Cox, who played 17 games in ‘77 for #RedSox. Who you got?🤔😜 (NOTE: There’s never been a Dwight Cox in MLB.😉)

This giant floral mosaic—made from tens of thousands of flowers—is created every year on Dec. 11 in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, just hours before millions of pilgrims arrive for her feast. ¡Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe! ❤️

It was such an incredible blessing to grow up with JPII as our Pope - from age 6 to 32…from 1st grade thru the birth of my 3 sons. His impact was (& still is) immeasurable. An incredible man in so many ways. On this his feast day, Pope St John Paul the Great, #PrayForUs! 🙏🏻
🚨 WOAH St. John Paul II's 1987 message to America is just as powerful in 2025.

Defend Nigerian Christians. During a World Cup qualifying match, Romanian football fans held up a banner that read: 'Defend Nigerian Christians.'

This is Venerable Emil Kapaun 75 yrs ago today, celebrating Mass for troops in combat in Korea. Within 1 mth he’d be taken prisoner when his regiment was overrun & he stayed behind rescuing ~40 men while most retreated, for which he received the #MedalofHonor. #FrKapaunPrayforUs

ONE HUNDRED percent! 😂👍
Chalk it up to nostalgia & the powerful brainwashing of The Superstation #WTBS, but I'm betting I get significant agreement among my peers that this is the greatest infield of the '80s! 😁 #Braves #StatisticsBeDamned
