Winner gets either a PWE of basketball cards or a PWE of hockey cards.
Entry Deadline: 4:00 PM Pacific on March 17
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.
I visited Target recently, and purchased a 2025 Stadium Club baseball hanger pack and a 2026 Topps baseball hanger box.
Let's see some highlights.
- And the Yankees lose!
- Ramirez is getting close to Hall of Fame territory.
- Larkin's a Hall of Famer, and deservedly so.
- Phillies legend McCutchen is hoping for the Baines treatment.
- The Big Hurt only hit 521 Hrs. Must be really hard to hit 548.
- Junior won 10 Gold Gloves and 7 Silver Sluggers.
- Sanchez was robbed of a Cy Young Award last year.
- Lindor's getting close to Hall of Fame territory.
- Turner led the NL in BA last season - .304.
- Kershaw should be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
- Trout should be a first ballot guy.
- Altuve's getting close to Hall of Fame territory. Statistically.
- Betts deserves to be in the Hall.
Kerry Biggs sent me a hanger box of 2026 Topps baseball cards for my College Bowl Game contest entry.
Let's peruse the highlights.
- Shohei has 3 consecutive seasons over 6 WAR, but he turns 32 in July.
- A lot of hype for Roman Anthony. We'll see.
- Carroll has led the NL in Triples 3 consecutive seasons. 31 HRs and 32 Steals last season.
- Yelich dominated in 2018 - 19, winning NL MVP in 2018.
- Tatis won 2 Silver Sluggers pre-PED suspension and has won 2 Gold Gloves since his return.
- Harper's getting close to Hall of Fame territory.
