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.

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.
