They May Go All the Way
October 26th, 2011 by slangon

Did you realize that it’s been 9 years since the World Series went the full 7 games? Personally, although I do want the Rangers to win it, I’m slightly rooting for the Cards tonight just to push the Series to its limit. Then again, I’d rather just see the Rangers win.

A Hall of Famer Straight from the Hall of Fame
August 22nd, 2011 by slangon

Apparently, that custom relic job that I did for Project 1962 a while back has paid some dividends on top of what Chris gave me because a few folks contacted me after he posted it asking if I’d be interested in doing something for them as well. Tim, from The Great Sports Name Hall of […]

July 21st, 2011 by slangon

I don’t think it should surprise anyone that the lions share of the cards that I got in my latest spree are Mets cards. That actually has to do with why I was considering this my greatest month as a collector, because I was able to do so much damage to my want lists. As […]

July 2nd, 2011 by slangon

What better way to kick off the holiday weekend than to keep going with the stuff I got from Project ’62 for doing his custom relic card? Step into the time machine where we’ll zoom on back to 1977. Watch your arms. I’ve always loved the legend of Dock Ellis, even if this particular card […]

More Interleague Play. Yay.
June 17th, 2011 by slangon

Tonight begins another round of the always exciting inter-league play. The Mats are facing off against the Los Angeles Angels of Anehiem, California. Maybe not the most exciting matchup, but I guess it’ll at least be cool to watch players who I never get to watch. I always like Torii Hunter. I think a lot […]
