Time Traveling

 

Another trade with Matty K.  

-  500 Home Runs is really impressive.  

-  English was a 1x First Team All-Pro and 4x Pro Bowl selection.

-  Scott was a 2x First Team All-Pro and 3x Pro Bowl selection.  

-  And he sent me a free Schmidt card that I didn't have.  The grift is working.

Another trade with Matty K.

-  North swiped 395 bags.

-  Tommy John moved to the next level recently.

-  Bonds hit 332 homers and stole 461 bases.  Three Gold Gloves as well.   

-  Hart is listed as 6'2".  I've met cousin Jimmy, and he isn't 6'2".  Maybe 5'10".  

-  Largent's a Hall of Famer, so might as well get him when he's cheap.

Quick Poll

Was the last year of the junk era for baseball cards 1994 or 1995?   

Scoring from My Dealer

 

A couple more purchases from Target.

A hanger box of 2026 Topps baseball:

-  A bit surprised the BoSox let Betts walk.  But I guess ESPN's ratings were down, so they needed to tighten pay roll.

-  Also surprised that the Big Dumper won a Gold Glove in 2024.

-  Acuna could've been special.  Durability is an ability or something like that.

-  Been pulling plenty of Tatis cards this year. 

-  Judge is close to Hall of Fame territory, despite a relatively low Hits total.

-  With back-to-back Cy Young Awards, Skubal's the best pitcher in the AL.

Another trade with Matty K.

-  The 1982 World Series featured Simmons catching for the Brewers (formerly for the Cardinals) and Darrell Porter catching for the Cardinals (formerly for the Brewers).

-  Santiago won 3 Gold Gloves and 4 Silver Sluggers.

-  Some say Carlton is the best pitcher ever.

-  75.1 WAR for Whitaker. 

-  Williams won 4 Gold Gloves and 4 Silver Sluggers.

-  Nomo threw a no-hitter at Coors Field. 

-  Might Kershaw sign a one-day contract so he can retire as a Phillie?

-  Tooz had a bit of an acting career after football.

-  Bruce Smith had 200 sacks in the NFL.
