More than 51K were sold in 24 hours Up for sale for 24 hours, Dr. Anthony Fauci's limited edition baseball card set "an all-time high print run record." Some 51,512 cards were sold for $9.99 each, according to Topps. The previous top-selling card featured Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s first hit, and only 19,396 of those were sold, per USA Today. Fauci's card, showing him throwing out a wild first pitch at Thursday's MLB game between the Washington Nationals and the New York Yankees, describes "a strong effort" that "signaled the official start of the 2020 MLB season." "I feel a little embarrassed and humbled," the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases tells CNN. "I hope that Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle are not looking up at me saying, 'What the heck is going on here?'"

Deckard, maybe you can find some “humorous cartoons” to post about: Perhaps you can find a "humorous cartoon" with a player who contacted the virus holding a “Fauci Baseball Card” with a cute sarcastic caption. This should be easy for your – after all, it’s something right down your expertise alley.
Fuck Baseball! Baseball Demonstrates That America Has Become a Theocracy Major League Baseball confirms that Black Lives Matter is a church at which Americans are required to worship, lest they be canceled for heresy. The first games of the season took place yesterday, but only after a grotesque ceremony in which the players knelt in obeisance to Black Lives Matter while holding a black ribbon symbolizing that all are united in the BLM faith: Good thing Aubrey Huff has retired. I don’t think the MLB execs could get him to kneel to a Marxist/black supremacist terrorist organization. It doesn’t end there. Lest anyone forget that adherence to the Black Lives Matter faith and reverence for the rioting that defines it are far more important than entertainment, “Black Lives Matter” was stenciled on the pitcher’s mound. Players wore patches on their sleeves reading “Black Lives Matter” or “United for Change,” the latter expressing the BLM doctrine that America is “racist” and therefore must be changed into a different sort of country. The Red Sox, whose moonbat manager Alex Cora refused to visit the White House for political reasons after the team won the 2018 World Series, are ramming the religion down the audience’s throat still more aggressively: The Boston Red Sox unveiled a massive Black Lives Matter billboard Wednesday. The 250-foot billboard is adjacent to Fenway Park and faces the Massachusetts Turnpike. The huge sign features the words “Black Lives Matter” in the font of the Red Sox on a black background with the team’s logo at the end. Baseball used to appeal to patriotic Americans with a love of tradition. No longer, now that it has been coopted by radical leftism. But you won’t escape the BLM sermonizing by walking away from the game; not if you have to drive through Boston. In other baseball news, Mookie Betts has signed a contract extension for $365 million. To play a fun game during the summer. Yet when the Dodgers took the field yesterday, Betts knelt not only for the BLM ceremony beforehand but during the national anthem itself to drive home the message that America must be torn down because it oppresses black people like himself. Good-bye, baseball. I’m done. Good luck finding Millennials with a nine-inning attention span.
Don't you mean "concern" instead of fear? They are not "concerned" about the virus, just concerned about the money they stand to lose. Baseball never should have tried to do a shortened season - it's a joke. Any records set during the season will be tagged * just like 1994. Oh they added fake crowd noises and FAKE Fans On FOX. I mean what the actual fuck is that all about? I would much rather listen to an old radio guy back in the 50s and 60s, when an announcer calling the games would get the away play-by-play info by teletype. They would have crowd noise SFX on cartridge, just like an 8 track but only one channel (2 for stereo.) The play-by-play guy would read the description from the ticker tape, and call the games using the cart for crowd noise and something like a wooden mallet striking a wood block to simulate the sound of the bat hitting the ball. A real good example of this technique can be found in the movie "Bull Durham - Teddy Garland is the announcer. One more thing - I think it was this incident that was the saddest and really was a "jump the shark" moment for baseball:
How many baseball players died from covid? How many football players? How many basketball players? Zero fag lover.
