157/366 Thursday. Perhaps my last view of Minute Maid Park after midnight. Leaving the ballpark for what could be the last time before Astros leave the division. (Taken with Instagram)

156/366 Wednesday. Comic book day in Houston means a trip to Nan’s, where I did not make friends by doing a radio interview while rummaging through the back issues. Bart vs Darth Homer is painted on a window outside. (Taken with Instagram)

154/366 Catching up from the road trip continues with Monday. A portrait of Stan Musial made out of Legos, as displayed at the best baseball pub in New York City, Foley’s. They have sullied this case however with a ball signed some little known baseball scribe. (Taken with Instagram)

153/366 Sunday (1). Curious that outside Citi Field as part of great moments in Mets history they would have a snapshot from a loss. Of course, Endy Chavez’s The Strength to be There catch was a dandy. (Taken with Instagram)

152/366 Saturday. The headline of our paper, The Post-Dispatch, the morning after Santana’s no-hitter. This headline appeared above my gamer, which you can read here. It’s the first no-hitter I’ve covered at the major-league level. The asterisk stirred some strong retorts from Mets fans and one New York paper, The Daily News. (Taken with Instagram)

151/366 Thursday. After a day of writing for the newspaper, what better way to unwind then to go see a play about a journalist who spent his days writing for the newspaper. Astonishing, the lead (not lede) did not blog or tweet once during the show. What kind if reporter did he think he was? (Taken with instagram)
