A little less than 2 weeks ago, I had sent some custom cards out to Sparky Anderson and a little less than a week ago I got it back. Way to go Sparky. 2010 SlangKo Award Winners Sparky Anderson
One of the first through the mail requests I had sent out, way back when I first started doing through the mail requests, was Mike Mussina. Like some of the other early requests that started to filter back in recently, I had really kind of forgotten about / given up on Mike Mussina. I know […]
And three more. 2009 SlangKo Sport Stars #192 Richard Petty Who would’ve thought that this is actually the second time that Richard Petty has popped up on this blog. First off, I’m not really a NASCAR guy. I like cars and I like cars that go fast, I just don’t so much like cards that […]
In all this flurry of vintage cards, there’s been a steady stream of TTM requests coming back as well. Unfortunately, they’ve been getting pushed to the back burner. Let’s try and remedy that situation, shall we? 2009 SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond Bill Denehy There’s not really too much to say about Bill Denehy’s baseball […]
2009 SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond Gene Alley (Sorry about the post title. I know we’re 8 months early for Talk Like A Pirate Day.) Gene Alley played his entire career for the Pittsburgh Pirates, from 1963-1973. Alley was a pretty light hitter, with a career average of .254. Fortunately for him, he played during […]
Right before Christmas, I had made a big push and sent out a pretty big pile of custom cards to get signed. It didn’t take too long for them to start coming back. This was one of them. 2009 SlangKo Award Winners Carl Erskine, 1954 All-Star Erskine, or “Oisk” as he was known in Brooklyn, […]
I sent this out in early November, which in TTM terms isn’t even that long ago. That didn’t stop me from forgetting that I sent it. I actually sort of love when stuff like that happens. It’s like when you’re at the bar, and you load up the juke box with a bunch of awesome […]
2009 SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond Bobby Gene Smith Another Original Met. Barely. Mr. Bobby Gene Smith had a short career in general, but especially had a short career as a Met. How short, you ask? Try eight games short. He was a member of the Mets on Opening Day, 1962, though. He pinch hit […]
2009 SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond Roy Sievers Roy “Squirrel” Sievers played in the majors from 1949 through 1965. Sievers played for the St. Louis Browns (1949-53), the original Washington Senators (1954-59), Chicago White Sox (1960-61) , Philadelphia Phillies (1962-64), and finally the new Senators (1964-65). He won the American League Rookie of the Year […]
2009 SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond Jim Fregosi Of course, the man that was Nolan Ryan was traded for, along with 3 other players. A 6 time All-Star, all before coming to the Mets. Like a lot of guys the Mets pick up, he was really good with the Angels, not so much with the […]
