Random Binder Page

Let's try a new series.  

I'll open a frankenset binder to a random page, then show the cards.

This is 109 - 117 in my baseball frankenset.

-  Maye also had a singing career in the 1950s.  M for Milwaukee. 

-  Tyson is a same name favorite.  I have another card of him as a shortstop. 

-  Gwynn with the Ray Kroc tribute on his sleeve.

-  Beane was a longtime GM of the cash-strapped A's and the subject of the book and film Moneyball.

-  We close out the page with Pettis somehow looking at the card he's on.

Sent some cards I didn't need to Matty K.  Got back a diverse trio. 

  

-  He was also a WR who scored 11 TDs in his 9-year NFL career.

 

-  Hall of Famer and the first Ranger to have his number retired. 

-  This is his 1980 Topps card.  I don't like the set due to the faux autographs, but it is the year the Phillies won the World Series for the first time.

For taking second place in my World Series contest:

Contest Winners

 

With 3 points, Bo and Angels in Order tied for first.  

I have an address for a Bo in New York State, which I'm guessing is the right one.  I need an address for Angels in Order.

The second place post will go up eventually.
