Summary: Many summer vacation itineraries include both a day at the ballpark and time set aside to send picture postcards off to loved ones. The 50th edition of Your Postal Podcast offers stories about both traditions. You'll hear from the National Baseball Hall of Fame's President about stamps being issued this month to honor four of the game's greatest legends. We'll also touch base with two photographers who decided that creating and sending their own picture postcards was the best way to chronicle -- and fund -- their summer trip to all 50 states. A roundup of postal headlines concludes the show -- along with a chance to win a special prize featuring new stamps jointly issued by the U.S. Postal Service and France's La Poste.
