They Fell off the Truck

 

The grift is working.  

In this latest edition, I scored some free cards off Matty K.  

-  I used to own an old school Broncos helmet.  Morton finished with an 87 -62 - 1 record as a starting QB in the NFL.     

-  T.J. Watt is an 8x Pro Bowl selection.  Might be better than his brother.  

-  The AAGPBL is the league in A League of Their Own.  Davis was an All-Star in 1948.

-  Fernando was so good a Swedish pop band wrote a song about him.

-  No-hitters are special.  Unless they're against the Phillies.

-  Martinez was a 6x All-Star.

-  Bondra scored over 500 goals and played in 5 NHL All-Star Games. 

-  Belfour was a goalie.  And a good one, with 2 Vezina Trophies and 6 All-Star Game appearances.

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.

-  .316, .432, .601.  42 HR, 106 RBI, 105 Runs.  Not much defense.  7.1 WAR.  Houston won the AL West with a .500 record.  I usually require a winning record but making the playoffs is more important.

Kevin McGonigle (Tigers) and Bobby Witt Jr. (Royals) both had Top 3 seasons, but their teams had losing records.

Sanchez was robbed by Skenes last year and I expect Mis to win it this year.  But I don't have to agree with it.
