Yesterday, I was talking about how I was pretty surprised that given all the big sluggers in both the Cardinals and Rangers lineups the first 2 games of the World Series were relatively low scoring affairs. I further went on to hypothesize that perhaps playing the next few games in Texas would remedy that. Well […]

During yesterday’s extra-inning, rain delayed game against the Marlins, Jose Reyes went 3 for 6 with a walk to propel himself back into the top spot in the National League in batting average over Ryan Braun. The day before, Jose had actually dropped into second place by 3 points, but thanks to his 3 hits […]

Yesterday, I made a very brief mention of how May 11 was the anniversary of the Mets bringing Willie Mays back to New York to finish out his career. The Giants traded the legendary slugger for Mets pitching prospect Charlie Williams plus a bag of cash equalling $50,000. After looking up 1972 Mets ticket stubs […]

So a while back, I had spent a couple of bucks at Sportlots on various vintage cards. I ended up spending about what I would’ve dropped on a modern blaster box and in my opinion, got much cooler stuff. I’ve already gone through some new cards, some other newish cards and some older cards. Now […]

I always overlook the fact that even though Spring Training is officially upon us, there’s really nothing exciting about a bunch of dudes having bullpen sessions and doing calisthenics. Oh well. At least it’s inspiring to know that someone, somewhere is doing something baseball related. Until the games start, here’s some cards. As you may […]

Ever since I started this blog, and began to really take a good look at Topps card designs over the years, I’ve encountered numerous details of those designs that would sort of leave me scratching my head. I’m not sure if I puzzled over these specific things because graphic design is what I do for […]
