The Stunning Covers of True Strange Magazine

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

In 1957, seven issues of True Strange Magazine were published.  True Strange claimed to feature stories about incidents that were true but strange!  Or strange but true.  Whichever, the magazine is today eagerly sought after by collectors for its beautiful, celebrity-filled covers, all of which were done by Thomas Beecham.

Here are the covers of True Strange Magazine.

One More Day To Go!

Only more day to go until opening day!

I’m so excited that I’m going to share one of my favorite moments as a Rangers fan, the day that Rougned Odor punched out Jose Bautista.  This happened nearly 10 years ago and I still remember it like yesterday.  Watch Bautista’s glasses fly!  It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

In Dallas, that moment was preserved in a mural.  Some people didn’t like this mural but baseball fans understood.

Here’s hoping for more classic baseball moments this season!

Go Rangers!
