It’s not that baffling.

The Dodgers Win Game One Of The World Series!

Posted on October 25, 2024 by Dazzling Erin

Congratulations to the Dodgers on winning Game One of the World Series!

What a game that was! The Dodgers came from behind, tied up the game in the eighth inning and then won things in the 10th inning in the most spectacular way possible, with grand slam that brough four runs across the plate! If you’re going to go into extra innings, that’s how you want to win the game.

Of course, I endorsed the Yankees earlier today so they better make a comeback of their own tomorrow!

For now, here’s the grand slam that won the first game of the 2024 world series.

I Endorse The Yankees For The World Series Championship

Posted on October 25, 2024 by Dazzling Erin

Everyone’s talking about endorsements or the lack of them today so I guess I should make it official. The World Series is starting tonight and I am officially endorsing the Yankees.

Why the Yankees?

They’re not my team and, as a Southern girl, I never thought I’d be endorsing a Yankee for anything. But even if the Yankees are not my team, they are the American League’s team. And I always cheer for the American League, the home of the Rangers.

The Dodgers just won the World Series four years ago. The Yankees haven’t won since 2009. It’s time for New York to have something cheer about.

Go Yankees!

This cover is from 1973. I think there’s a lesson here about the granting people their final wishes and also avoiding open casket funerals, especially if the deceased has reason to be angry with you.

First published in 1930 and still going today under the name Analog, Astounding has had many different names of the past 94 years but one thing that has always remained consistent has been the strong covers. Below, for your October pleasure, is just a tiny sampling of the astounding covers of Astounding!
