Scott Veatch comes through with a very interesting card which could just as well work for Weird Card Wednesday, too. It’s 1964 Bob “Savvy” Saverine. Saverine was 23 years old but was already in his fifth year in baseball by the 1964 season with the Baltimore Orioles. Savvy Bob was…
1980 Brett: Two HR and five rbis in Game One Game 1 of my Monsters vs Terribles series is in the books and it went just how you probably would have expected it. Game #1 R H E Monday Monsters 15 19 0 Tuesday Terribles 0 6 2 WP- Mathewson…
As I started my Monster vs. Terribles series last night, I realized again that I never wrote an official Monster Card Monday article for Honus Wagner. Time to remedy that now. As old as some of us are, I’m pretty confident that none of us have seen Wagner play…
Starter Offa Neal is looks forward to a productive series *snicker* One last poll. I promise. Take a look at the final rosters of the Tuesday Terribles and the Monday Monsters. Just for fun, tell me how well do you think the Terribles will do against the Monsters in…
It’s been a few weeks since Geoff Giordano from the APBA Football Club started posting his series of Evolution of APBA Football videos but I just got around to watching them. Great stuff! Since I played the APBA Football Game as a kid, I’m posting the above video of…
I have the final rosters for my Terribles vs Monsters project! But one little thing to tidy up first… I’m calling it Bloggers’ Choice. I decided that Scott Fennessy and I have free reign to choose one player for each team. It could be any player written about that hasn’t…
I’m on schedule to start my Terribles vs Monsters series that I started planning oh so long ago. I’ve assembled the nominees. I’ve polled my dear readers for each position for both teams. I hope to start rolling soon. But first things first. How did the Monsters Outfield poll end…
Scott Fennessy sent me this 1901 Davy Jones card which has pretty much everything on it. Everything except singles, that is. Turns out that David “Kangaroo” Jones went to school up I-74 in a small town called Dixon, Illinois. He also attended USC and subsequently played for the Milwaukee Brewers…
Too bad some of the talents of Minnesota Twins teammates Harmon Killebrew and Tony Olivia didn’t rub off on rookie Joe McCabe in 1964. In 19 at-bats, he could only muster three singles and a run scored. Split G GS PA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB BB…
This is the card that inspired it all. Before 1930 George Puccinelli, before 1953 Ted Williams, I posted an article about my buddy Brando’s replay which included this 1930 Babe Herman card. I received an email a few days later from Aaron Wilson who suggested that I do a “longer…
