Cool Cards / Stanky Team

I got this topic from Not Another Baseball Card Blog who got it from Shlabotnik Report.

Anyway, let's gaze at some Cowboys cards that are in my collection.

-  That's a '69 Renfro.  Hall of Famer, 10 Pro Bowls, etc. 

-  Hayes won 2 Gold Medals at the 1964 Summer Olympics and then had a Hall of Fame career in football.  

-  Staubach served in the U.S. Navy and was stationed in South Vietnam during the war.

-  White saving his team a roster spot.  

-  I do like the art cards.

-  Haley with an illegal hand to the face. 

-  Emmitt praying he gets traded to the Eagles.  (The highlight was breaking the all-time rushing TD record.)

-  Witten and Lamb:  good players who don't bother me other than them being Cowboys. 

-  Bland is from Modesto and attended the first high school I attended.  A couple years after me.

Time Traveling

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.
