Frankie Montas suspended 80 games
From the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency website: Ostarine is the trademarked name for a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM) that is not approved for human use or consumption in the U.S. Yeah sure, Frankie, we believe you "bought this over the counter at a health food store in the United... -
C.C. Sabathia gets 250th career win.
Sabathia is now only the 14th pitcher in baseball history with both 250 wins and 3,000 strikeouts. Every other pitcher with those stats is in the Hall of Fame, except Clemens. Even though his milestones have largely been the result of longevity and innings instead of seasonal domination, HOF... -
Scott Kingery who?????
Remember when you made a similar thread about Maikel Franco's hot hitting earlier this season, and now he's hitting .205? https://www.freedomcardboard.com/forum/showthread.php/159266-Maikel-Franco-Is-hot-If-you-got-them-lets-see-em!?p=2558415#post2558415 Don't jinx Kingery too. -

It'll be on Netflix beginning July 16th in the US and November in Canada. -
New Baseball Card movie on YouTube
I watched the trailer but haven't decided if I want to pay Youtube $4 for the movie. It looks like it's as much of a family drama as it is a baseball card documentary. -
PSA is making mistakes on card slabs
"Professional grader." The only thing that makes them professional is that they get paid to grade cards. Except for the most valuable cards, they spend a few seconds on each card because of the endless backlog of millions of submissions. Stupid mistakes like yours happen because of this... -
Lenn Sakata
Three more interesting facts about Sakata: He is the second Asian-American ever to play in the Major Leagues. He’s a member of the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame. He was the starting shortstop when Cal Ripken, Jr. began his record consecutive games streak. Ripken was playing third base in his... -
David Ortiz shot in the back in the Dominican Republic.
ESPN -- Former Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz was shot and wounded at an entertainment center in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Police say the shooting happened during a robbery attempt at the "Dial" amusement club. Dominican police say Ortiz was shot in the lower back. The bullet went... -
Sons of Hall of Famers in the Major Leagues
The Blue Jays drafted Roy Halladay's son, Braden, yesterday. But it was basically a memorial pick, since Braden is committed to Penn State, so there won't be three Hall of Famers' sons playing for Toronto unless they draft him again. -
How is Craig Kimbrel still not signed to a team? (Update 6/5: Signed with Cubs)

What will be the outcome within the hobby with all this PSA, BGS, PWCC/consignor fraud?
Hasn’t PSA been incorrectly grading altered cards since the very beginning when they gave the infamously trimmed Gretzky T206 Honus Wagner a Near Mint 8? And that card from crook Bill Mastro is still sold in its original phony-graded slab for record amounts. Investors don’t care. If an... -
Jay Bruce traded to the Phillies
ESPN - Former All-Star outfielder Jay Bruce says he has been traded to Philadelphia by the Seattle Mariners. Details of the other players involved have not been released yet. Bruce is expected to fill the void left when Philadelphia outfielder Odubel Herrera was placed on administrative leave... -
Sons of Hall of Famers in the Major Leagues
Pudge's son Dereck is back up with the Giants, so that makes three HOFers' sons and one grandson in the Majors. Likely the only time in MLB history that's happened. -

Long awaited nostalgic pick up, Daryl Strawberry
There was something about Strawberry's '80s Mets cards that always looked really cool. His 1984 Topps rookie is one of my favorite cards of all time. -
Sons of Hall of Famers in the Major Leagues
With this thread I mean three sons of Hall of Famers in the Major Leagues at the same time, not on the same team. -
Sons of Hall of Famers in the Major Leagues
I don’t know how I forgot Pudge’s son. His last game before being sent down was May 10th, so he played with Vlad Jr., but not Biggio, so there hasn’t been three Hall of Famer’s sons to play together. But when Dereck is called back up they should be the first, as long as Biggio’s son plays well. -
Sons of Hall of Famers in the Major Leagues
With Biggio's son being called up and Vlad's son in the Majors, I wonder if more than two sons of Hall of Famers have ever played MLB at the same time. Mariano Rivera's son Mariano III never made it past high-A ball and recently retired. Are there any other Hall of Famers' sons who are top... -
How long until Phillies fans start booing Bryce Harper?
With just over a quarter of the season already finished, Harper is now hitting .219 with 7 homers and still on pace for the MLB record for strikeouts. -
"King" Felix on HOF ball? Your thoughts?
Stupid idea since there are so many reasons a player may not make the HOF. And as others have written, it's disrespectful and presumptuous for a player to sign a HOF ball. Even getting Mike Trout on a HOF ball is a bad idea since a freak injury could end his career before the requires 10 years... -
A sad Albert Pujols stat...to me at least
I was thinking the same thing about Pujols lately. He went from having Stan Musial like stats his first ten years to slightly above average during his next decade. Completely killed his lifetime batting average and makes his career stats not look as impressive. Makes you appreciate the... -

Albert Pujols becomes third player ever with 2,000 RBI.
Pujols joined Hank Aaron (2,297) and Alex Rodriguez (2,086) with the milestone. Pujols won't pass Aaron, but he should pass Arod early next year or late this year if he gets hot. The RBI only became an official statistic in 1920, so historians say Babe Ruth and Cap Anson have more than 2,000... -
Ebay Question
There's a chance he just wants to confirm your identity by Googling the phone number to make sure it's really the name on the eBay account. It's an overseas sale so he might have been scammed before and is just asking for a second ID. It sounds silly, but I've actually Googled the address of... -
