Willie Mays is pretty much blind, so unless his handlers have strict orders on what to allow him to sign, he probably wouldn't have much of a clue if the ball was already signed, gold, etc.
MLB players can't be suspended for weed, only MILB players (see Jeremy Jeffress). So, if Houston decides to promote him to the MLB out of spring training, I wonder if the suspension would apply.
Yeah, and the sad thing is, even if he wouldn't have taken steroids he probably still wouldn't have got in because the writer's would have assumed that he must have taken steroids to be as good as he was. There is an absolute logjam and it's only going to get worse unless they change the way...
I live in Oklahoma in the heart of Indian territory (don't call them Native Americans, most every one of the tribes around here want to be called Indians). Anyway, the most predominant caps and jerseys you see around here (besides the Yankees) are the Indians and the Braves (items with their...
I can see why these guys that own "Rize" would need to comply with Brian's terms that they refrain from using Leaf in the title but it is ridiculous to think that I, or anybody else, couldn't use the Leaf name in the title if we bought some of these cards and decided to resell them. They say...
If I was a Red Sox fan, trading the prospects wouldn't bother me either. But the Royals, with their limited budget, need the 6 to 7 cost controlled years of Myers far more than 2 years of Shields. If the Royals were just a pitcher away from contending, it might be worthwhile but they need a...
I'm not saying that Shields isn't good. I don't agree that the Rays are taking more of a risk. Shields would be gone in 2 years and even though his contract is reasonable compared to the rest of baseball it's still at the upper limits of what the Rays can pay. Taking his money off the books...
The Royals pitching was terrible but what was even more terrible was that smiling POS Jeff Francoeur in right field. The Royals would have improved by much more just be releasing Frenchy, putting Myers in right field, and then spending the $15 mil or so that Shields and Davis are going to cost...
As a Royals fan, I'm about to throw up. And because I really hate Dayton Moore, I really hope Wil Myers becomes the next Mike Trout. I just can't see giving up 6-7 cost controlled years of Myers for 2 years of James Shields. Not to mention giving up Odorizzi -- that's just freakin stupid...
I think the one with the larger white labels are housed in a BCCG-type holder and are for cheaper bulk submissions. Not sure how many thousands of cards you have to submit to qualify for this service or what the price is.
I collect Royals autographs and they've had 757 different players play in at least 1 game since 1969. (they also have 6 guys that were on the active roster but did not appear in a game).
Are you sure it parallels the entire set? I saw these and thought they were parallels of the entire 2011 set (like the Diamond Anniversary Factory Set Limited Edition sets) but it includes only 5 cards:
Biggio will get in and nobody else. Jack Morris will be hurt by all the new guys on the ballot and most everybody else will be left off enough ballots due to perceived steroid use. It won't be long until nobody gets elected for a few years in a row due to the logjam of deserving players who...
People sure are stupid. There will be Twinkies on the shelf within 3-6 months. Another bakery will buy the Hostess name and recipe very soon. Then they will be made in non-union states and everybody will be able to kill themselves with these tasty treats again.
I own a grocery store and almost took all the Hostess products off the shelves yesterday since I figured there would be some nuts paying crazy prices on ebay. I decided against it since I figured I'd let my customers have a chance at a box or two of their favorites. I get to the store this...
