It's time for my yearly 'May 1987' tribute to Eric Davis.
He was 25 years old. He was the best and baddest man on the baseball planet.
His combo of speed, power and glove is hard to explain and appreciate if you didn't get a chance to watch him.
It was the best version of Davis we ever saw. He was the Player Month in April....and Player of the Month again in May!
He hit a major league record 19 HR between April/May. He hit a major league record three grand slams in the month. He had two homer and three homer game that month. He climbed walls to rob home runs.
That month, Davis was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, on the front page of USA Today Sports, and featured on Sports Center.
1987 Season:
.293-.399-.593-.991, 37 HR, 100 RBI, 50 SB, 84 BB, 120 R.
I like celebrating and remembering Eric. It will be my 8pm topic.
Let's discuss what he was....not what he could have been if not injured. Celebrate Eric The Red.
1987
April: .354-.437-.727-.1.164, 7 HR, 16 RBI
May: .329-.404-.841-1.246, 12 HR, 36 RBI
In 52 games from April-May 1987:
.314-.405-.696-1.102, 19 HR, 55 RBI, 26 SB, 51 R
New York Times story in May of 1987.
Pete Rose told Ralph Wiley: "Mike Schmidt's the best ballplayer I've ever seen. 'Johnny Bench is the best catcher, Joe Morgan the most intelligent player, Dave Parker plays the hardest and Tony Perez was the greatest R.B.I. player. But Eric Davis has more raw talent than any of those guys."

Dude. @SteveGelbs You can’t do a fair and honest score on a dog with honey mustard on it. The whole scale is phoney bologna. Honey mustard covers up any imperfections. Might as well end this bit now. Be better, Steve. @SNY_Mets

There’s no room for Lindor. Trade him. He’s probably working with his glove designers for the remaining 48 different gloves he’ll use this season.

Picasso drew four self-portraits in a single week in summer 1972, when he was 90, then never drew himself again. The two "ugly" bottom portraits in this image are from that week. Nine months later he was dead, painting up until 3am the morning he died.
His friend Pierre Daix visited Picasso's studio while he was working on the green-and-pink one (called Self-Portrait Facing Death). Picasso held the paper up against his own face to show Daix that the terrified expression was just an act. Three months later Daix came back. The lines had grown harsher, and the fear no longer looked like a performance. "He did not blink," Daix wrote. "I had the sudden impression that he was staring his own death in the face, like a good Spaniard."
Picasso is the most-traded artist on the planet. In 2025 alone, 3,729 of his works sold at auction. Five of his paintings have crossed $100 million each, more than any other artist who has ever lived. Women of Algiers, from 1955, went for $179 million in 2015. A self-portrait he painted at 19, called Yo, Picasso, sold for $48 million in 1989. In today's money, that's roughly $125 million for one painting of his own face.
The "a kid could draw this" reaction has it backwards. Picasso was a skilled oil painter at age 8. By 13 he was already better than his own father, an art teacher in Spain who reportedly handed over his brushes and quit painting for good. The detailed top-left drawing, made when he was 18, is what Picasso could do without trying. He said it himself: when he was young he could draw like Raphael, but it took him a lifetime to learn to draw like a child.
Three things explain the high prices on the late "ugly" work. Forging it is hard. Those loose, scribbly lines are the proof it's actually a Picasso, much harder to fake than realistic painting. Supply is also choked. Most of the great early Picassos are locked inside museums like MoMA in New York and the Pompidou in Paris. Private buyers fight over what's left. And the 1972 self-portraits especially are a real-time documentary: a 90-year-old watching himself age toward death across that single week, without flinching. Collectors pay for that as much as for the paint on the paper.

Este árbol, en el Parque Picasso, ha dado hojas, nuevamente, y con ellas sombra.
Pero el estado del tronco invita a pensar que cualquier vendaval lo deja en el suelo.

Picasso moved to Antibes in 1946, when he rented the Château Grimaldi, which today houses the Musée Picasso
I just went till outside gate.
I have not much interest in abstract paintings
The village market was more interesting
Took 300 photographs though

Antibes is where the French Riviera slows down. Old stone streets, blue water, and golden light make the whole town feel like a postcard you somehow stepped into.
