So there was enough video evidence to overturn Volpe being called safe at third but not enough to see LeMehieu’s ball land on the line?

Steve Carlton had more complete games (254) than losses (244)!! He COMPLETED 36% of the games he started. Insane.

#Topps Series 2! Would’ve preferred a Judge or Ohtani superfractor over Steward Berroa but there’s always next time. Mickey Moniak w/the best S2 image IMO. Similar to the ‘catchers-in-action’ theme from S1, ❤️ what they did with the leaping OF catches. Keep rippin’.

Feeling good about this PCA pull from 2024 #Topps.

What’s the most iconic make-believe baseball card? Three to consider.

Not a baseball card but absolutely worthy of a penny sleeve & top loader

Underrated album

Baseball is hard. Of these 1st rounders, Kendall & Stewart are the only two whose careers I can immediately recall. Kendall was a damn good baseball player. I have no memory of Helling’s 4 year stretch that included a 20 win season! Serafini. Well that’s interesting.

A card from Ruth’s playing years is beyond my budget; at least for now. Can anyone recommend a relatively affordable magazine or daily cover from his playing yrs to target? I recently picked up this vintage DiMaggio LIFE magazine as an alternative to one of his cards.

Most expensive card I’ve ever sold. Raw Ohtani jersey-match #/73. I set the final bid to a West Coast friendly time & almost fell out of bed the next morning. 18 have been graded w/PSA - no 10’s yet.

It’s only early May, but Max Fried was the FA pitcher I most wanted the Yankees to sign. His stuff reminds me of Jimmy Key & Mike Mussina. Not overpowering but a true pitcher who overwhelms by keeping hitters off balance. That approach also ages well. If only we had Cole; what a one-two that’d be.
