1964 Topps: Jim Bouton #470
http://1964topps.blogspot.com/2015/02/jim-bouton-470.html
Thursday, February 5, 2015. However, his large number of appearances in those first years led to arm issues. By 1965, Jim was a member of the bullpen, his fastball noticeably slower. He developed a knuckle ball to extend his career. By 1968, however, Bouton was back in the minors. The famous book Ball Four. Frank Robinson Reds - 38HRS. Off center. Slight rounding of the corners and small creases. Off center on the back and some dirt. February 5, 2015 at 7:54 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

1988 Topps: 635th Place - James Steels
http://1988topps.blogspot.com/2015/08/635th-place-james-steels.html
Ranking and counting down all 792 baseball cards, from worst to best, in a mostly objective manner. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. 635th Place - James Steels. James Steels" sounds like the perfect secret identity for a comic book hero. A last name of "Steals" would have been even better since he twice swiped 35 bases in a season in the minor leagues. Is a good indicator of why. I couldn't find much on Steels on the interwebs.hmm, maybe he is a super hero! Player of the year in 1984. I found a couple.

Orioles Card "O" the Day: Jeffrey Hammonds, 1998 Collector's Choice #313
http://oriolescards.blogspot.com/2015/08/jeffrey-hammonds-1998-collectors-choice.html
Orioles Card "O" the Day. An intersection of two of my passions: baseball cards and the Baltimore Orioles. Updated daily? Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Jeffrey Hammonds, 1998 Collector's Choice #313. A few thoughts about this card:. It's always interesting to see card photos from 1997 featuring the "24" decal on the Orioles' helmets. Of course, that was a sign of support for outfielder Eric Davis, who was battling colon cancer during that season. This could be one of two games: June 30, 1997. Or July 2, 1997.

http://1993topps.blogspot.com/2015/08/467-lee-stevens.html
Celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the first set I ever collected. Thursday, August 13, 2015. Lee Stevens is rocking a sweatshirt underneath his jersey, so I'm guessing it's pretty chilly wherever he is. (Cleveland? Maybe that accounts for the near-total lack of fans in the bleachers behind him. Mark Snipp" sounds like a Harry Potter character. He needs a more outlandish first name though. I'd suggest Maurelius Snipp. But never had a walkoff homer. On This Date in 1993:. August 13. Johnny Gaudrea...

1964 Topps: Gene Stephens #308
http://1964topps.blogspot.com/2014/12/gene-stephens-308.html
Wednesday, December 3, 2014. Traded to the White Sox at the start of the 1963 season, he spent most of it in the minors while his knee healed, only appearing in six games for the South Siders. However, a promising start in 1963 earned a call up from Al Lopez and Gene finished his career in Chicago with the Sox barely missing out on the post season by a single game. Gene didn't return to baseball in 1965, instead entering the business world and retiring from Kerr-McGee after 22 years in marketing.

1993 Topps: March 2015
http://1993topps.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the first set I ever collected. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. 396 Rich Sauveur (Gold). The piping down the sides of Rich Sauveur's pants is juuuuust a bit thinner than his stirrups, which is probably driving the type-A personalities among you crazy. If Topps' most recent career highlight for you is a seven-year-old minor league shutout, that strikes me as the definition of "damning with faint praise". 1 He debuted with the Pirates on July 1, 1986. On This Date in 1993:.
