Here’s a comic strip by Mark Tatulli.  I suppose that’s one way to get your hands on a major league baseball.

It’s been a minute since I last posted a Peanuts strip.  Happy Friday, everyone!

I sometimes have wondered if the “brawls” that happen in baseball are merely the players’ way of breaking up the routine of daily games and keeping things interesting.  Calvin and Hobbes certainly seem to enjoy the novelty.

Either the pitchers are really, really good, or the other team’s offense leaves a lot to be desired.

I came across this comic on Twitter and couldn’t help but laugh.  It’s an amusing twist on the Babe Ruth/Lou Gehrig “hit one for the sick child” legend.  The artist behind the strip appears to be one Nicholas Gurewitch.

Here’s a fun little comic by Molly Lawless about that moment when Lou Gehrig’s consecutive games streak began.  Whatever the story behind Pipp’s sitting out that day, you can’t help but feel for the guy.

Anyone else ever find themselves in Calvin’s shoes as a kid?
