Time Traveling

 


Another trade with Matty K:

 












-  Holland won the Rolaids Relief Award in 1983 and was an All-Star in '84 - both with the Phillies.  It was as a Phillie that he waved to me from the bullpen after warming up but not being needed at Candlestick. 

-  Hall of Famer Sutton was a 4x All-Star and won 324 games. 

-  Still the Aztecs leader in career Assists, Assists in a season, and Assists in a game.

Scoring from My Dealer

 


I need to catch up on these, so I'm combining a couple.

First, another 2025 Topps Baseball fat pack:


-  Two Phillies legends works for me.

-  4x All-Star and NL MVP in 2016

-  Kind of a goofy design, but Judge is elite.

-  Langford's off to a good start.

-  Duran had a big 2024 but has regressed this season. 


2025 Score Football blaster:

-  Greene looking east, thinking he could've won 5 Super Bowls if he had played for the Eagles.

-  Eagles legend.  Obvs.

-  Not my favorite First Ballot design, but I like FB cards.

-  Adams has bounced around a bit since leaving Green Bay. 

-  Irving in the throwback Bucs uni.

-  Jeudy hot box:  Base, Green parallel, and Circular parallel with a print run of 299.  The pics of the parallels aren't up yet on TCDB. 

-  Green parallel of CeeDee Lamb, but the pic isn't up yet.


2025 Score-a-Treat:


-  Mahomes got picked off twice in his last game.

-  Saquon is the great-nephew of boxing legend Iran Barkley.

-  Mailata was a rugby star.

-  McBride might play for a bad team, but he has a great agent.

That's a Wrap

 


No more minor league baseball in Modesto.  We had a team every season since 1946, with the exception of 1965.  

Here's my attempt at a Modesto All-Star team:

The View from the Third Floor: They Minored in Modesto

I should have taken Nelson Cruz over Charlie Blackmon.  Oh well.
