    TOP 10 NON-RC CARDS 1970 - PRESENT

    It's too bad the 1975 Topps Herb Washington is also his RC.

    That's just so wrong. I literally laughed out loud on this one.

    Josh Donaldson and his second half OPS of 1.007

    Yep, you read that correctly. Since the All Star Break, A's third baseman Josh Donaldson is currently 5th in MLB with a 1.007 OPS. Here are the top four: 1. Buster Posey 1.118 2. Miguel Cabrera 1.047 3. Giancarlo Stanton 1.012 4. Albert Pujols 1.011 Donaldson was hitting .153 with 1 HR and 7...

    Alex Rodriguez and his final Home Run total

    It's interesting to see that only 3 of 26 voters think that he will break the record. If I had asked this question three or four years ago, I would guess it would have been closer to 50%.

    Alex Rodriguez and his final Home Run total

    After thirteen straight 30 HR seasons, Arod seemed destined to pass Barry Bonds and end his career as the all time HR king. At 35 years old and 613 career HRs (at the end of the 2010 season), most fans assumed the title would one day be his. However, at age 37, he no longer is hitting HRs at...

    Who is your NL MVP right now?

    But the bigger question is this: Does Melky Cabrera get any votes? He was certainly a big part of getting the Giants in contention, and it looks like he will end up leading the NL in hitting. Back on topic, my vote goes to Cutch.

    Damn Attorneys

    I do agree with Johnny Bench: MLB players who knowingly took drugs should have their contracts voided. Why should clubs be punished financially.

    Ben Revere's HR chances

    I have never seen Ben Revere play, and he hits for a pretty good average, but the guy hasn't hit a HR in 918 career plate appearances. He hit 5 in the minors, but does anyone know if any of those went out of the park? He is speedy, with 30 stolen bases this year, so he may eventually hit an...

    PRO Grading really that terrible?

    When I first got back into the hobby, I bought two PRO slabs in Gem Mint condition. Both came back trimmed when I sent to PSA. One was a 1959 Topps Mantle that I paid about $800, and the other was an 1992-93 Upper Deck Shaq rookie. They were the last two PRO slabs I have bought.

    Andre Ethier has 10 straight hits; could break all-time record on Sunday

    Johnny Kling (1902), Pinky Higgins (1938), and Walt Dropo (1952) all had 12 consecutive hits. Bernie Williams (2002), Johnny Pesky (1946), and Tris Speaker (1920) all had 11 consecutive hits. Ethier is tied with others for the 7th best streak after the above six.

    An interesting wrinkle in Melky Cabrera's season

    I wasn't aware of it. I was researching the players with the lowest batting averages this year, and forgot to sort from lowest to highest, so it listed the highest averages. I saw Melky was 2nd and that he had 501 PAs, and remembered that 502 was the minimum for a 162 game season, and just...

    An interesting wrinkle in Melky Cabrera's season

    While doing some research earlier today, I came across Melky's numbers for this season and noticed something of interest. Melky currently has 501 plate appearances this season. His 50 game suspension means that he won't be playing again this season. In 1957, MLB established new rules for...

    Yeah, it's Schmidt. Eric got it when he said Michael Jack.
