Moving right along. 1982 marked John Stearns final go round as an All-Star. He did what he usually did at the All-Star Game. Came in to catch the bottom of the 9th. The N.L. won 4-1.
The Mets were about to start another run of only sending one guy to the ASG beginning in 1980. It seems like a lot of guys would be sort of bummed out to be on a team like the Mets during the late 70’s and early 80’s. I mean, who wants to be stuck on […]
Despite being a pretty terrible team at this point in their history, the Mets were actually able to send 2, count ’em 2 players to the 1979 ASG. Young Lee Mazzilli made the only All-Star appearance of his career, but he made the most of the opportunity. He entered the game in the 5th inning […]

Today’s episode of Sunday Afternoon Football Cards is brought to us by the number 1,973. As in a couple of 1973 Topps football cards. I don’t own a whole lot of football cards in general but my collection of vintage football cards is especially low key. I have picked up a few random ones here […]
I can’t believe that the Mid-Summer Classic is upon us already. It seems crazy to me to think that it’s mid-way through the season (actually, it’s 88 games into the season, which is 54.32% though the season). I always hear people complain about the All-Star game, saying how it’s not fun to watch and it’s […]
