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.

124; Comments RSS. Baseball Cards and Satan. Posted on April 30, 2009. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a bit of a baseball geek. I love the game, I love all the numbers, I love the strategy and the history and the personalities, and just about everything else about it. I always have, and I suspect I always will. So eloquently stated in. 8220;These are the ABCs of me, baby! And I don’t have to worry about cards from other manufacturers. To keep this longer goal from getting too expensive, I ta...

1993 Topps: #467 Lee Stevens
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...

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:.

1993 Topps: #463 Scott Aldred
http://1993topps.blogspot.com/2015/08/463-scott-aldred.html
Celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the first set I ever collected. Thursday, August 6, 2015. I'd like to imagine that Scott Aldred is pitching to a raccoon and receiving signs from a grizzly bear in a catcher's mask. Aldred didn't even have particularly impressive minor league numbers. I wonder what it was that compelled the Rockies to tab him in the expansion draft. 1 Scott was a winner in his big league debut on September 9, 1990. On This Date in 1993:. Labels: last topps card. I can remember playi...

But better late than never, and I’ve created this blog to track my progress. It won’t be witty, and it may not even be very interesting or informative. But at least it’ll help keep me off the street and away from drugs and gangs, right? So here we go…. From → Uncategorized. 105 – Don Mossi →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

1993 Topps: #461 Steve Reed
http://1993topps.blogspot.com/2015/08/461-steve-reed.html
Celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the first set I ever collected. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Steve Reed is lost in the inky black abyss. What does it take for an undrafted submarine-style pitcher to make it to the big leagues? Just five-plus seasons in the minors with a sub-2.00 ERA - including his 12.1 scoreless innings at AAA Colorado Springs in 1993, Reed had a career earned run average of 1.99 and 110 saves in 261 appearances in the minors. 2 Reed earned his first big-league save on July 11, 1993.

1993 Topps: #460 Randy Johnson
http://1993topps.blogspot.com/2015/08/460-randy-johnson.html
Celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the first set I ever collected. Monday, August 3, 2015. I think the horizontal format was necessary in order to fit Randy Johnson's massive wingspan on the card. Later in his career, the Big Unit topped that 18-K performance three times, culminating in an MLB-record-tying 20 strikeouts against the Reds on May 8, 2001. 1 Johnson no-hit the Tigers on June 2, 1990. Scattering six walks. On May 18, 2004. On June 5, 1995. On This Date in 1993:. Labels: hall of famer.
