Left-Handed Catcher: The Londinium!Project Tumblr

The views expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Aerys Sports.

Steph is a 2011 graduate of Gettysburg College (majored in history, minored in Civil War Era studies) and current graduate student at Pratt Institute (library science with a focus in Archival Studies) who loves baseball, anime, writing, drawing, Rogue Squadron, cars (and Top Gear), comedy (especially its history and, naturally, the British variety) and her cats and Old English Sheepdogs. Fond of Stanford even though she doesn't go there. Has Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. Created the 30-Day Baseball Meme. One time she made a music video about Buster Keaton's love affair with trains. Since she's an archivist-in-training, she often preserves things on her own. See her scans here.

Author of the webcomic The Historians, the excuse to draw dead comedians called Comedian Heaven, and Londinium, a novel in the making set in 1863 London. Scriptwriter for the webcomic Home By Now, a story about time travel, music, history and general hijinks (meet the incredible artist here!).

Very occasionally posts about herself when she's not posting about baseball, dead people, Top Gear or her pets.

Paul the Psychic Octopus, who correctly predicted World Cup match winners, was honored today at the Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany with this monument. Paul died in October.

Aquarium spokeswoman Tanja Munzig said the cremated ashes of Paul were placed in a gold-leaf-covered urn inside an oversized football that is part of the Paul monument.

RIP: Paul the Psychic Octopus, whose uncanny ability to correctly predict the outcome of the 2010 FIFA World Cup still baffles psychic animal specialists to this day, passed away last night in his enclosure at the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany.

”He appears to have passed away peacefully during the night, of natural causes, and we are consoled by the knowledge that he enjoyed a good life here,” Sea Life Centre manager Stefan Porwoll is quoted as saying.

“We may decide to give Paul his own small burial plot within our grounds and erect a modest permanent shrine.”

RIP Paul. You were a brilliant octopi.

I legitimately almost cried. Paul was one of the highlights of my summer. Watching Italian TV and not understanding all of it and then suddenly hearing ‘il polpo Paul’ during the World Cup coverage made my night one day in Rome.

LOVE PAUL FOREVER

PAUL LIVES TO SEE ANOTHER DAY

IF HE WAS WRONG, THAT BITCH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUSHI

Paul never ceases to entertain me. I love when they mention him on Rai Uno when I’m watching games in Italian. It’ll be like, “Questo partito di calcio è finito! Paul è corretto ancora!”
