Time Traveling

 

Another trade with Matty K. 

-  First Royal to hit two home runs in one game.  Later, as a broadcaster, "If we lose this game, I'll walk back to Pittsburgh."  

-  Two All-Star seasons and a Gold Glove, but before joining the Indians.

-  There's an ABBA song about him.

-  Drafted by four teams in three different sports.  Record-setting contract.  Killed a seagull.  Mr. May.  

-  That's Hall of Famer Harold Baines to you.  LOL   

-  Four Gold Gloves, three Silver Sluggers, 6x All-Star, World Series MVP, 70 WAR.  Damn right he's a Hall of Famer.

Contest Winners

There was a tie between Bo and Poison75, with 4 points.  (9 - 5)

Kind of surprised there wasn't more variance in the number of picks people made.  But it is what it is.  

Anyway, the winners may choose between the following:

Allen & Ginter retired stars:  2014 - 2021, with 2020 the most prolific 

Miscellaneous - a lot of 1990s cards; some from the 2000s and 2010s 

Mascots - 2022 Topps Opening Day  

2024 Topps Update - best for set building or loading up on RCs  

2024 Topps Holiday - same as the update series 

Poison75 got his entry in first, so he gets first choice.

Also, I need confirmation that Bo is on Southard and Poison75 is on Willard.
