Cabrera is now only 4 HRs shy of the triple crown now that he is tied in RBI with Hamilton, and AVG with Trout. 4 HRs is gonna be tough to get, and not likely. I hope he pulls it off though. It would be fun to see someone get it for the first time in 45 years.
I used to be more into football back in the 90s than baseball as far as collecting. I had, and still have a large Barry Sanders collection from then. I know QBs have always been the kings in the collecting world. That said, it used to be WR got little to no love from collectors. Has it changed...
April stats: 4 G, 1-0, 1.23 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 22/8 K/BB
He is now the first pitcher in the modern era to start his first 4 games and only give up 1 run or less in each start. But he's not getting much love or notice even being on a top team. Maybe it's because he doesn't have many cards, but...
I was just looking at the HR numbers by ballpark so far this season, and the only two parks with less HRs per game are the Giants, and the Nationals. The Giants we've known is a dead zone for power, and the Nationals haven't been so up until this season. Which is probably due the great pitching...
I was reading that the dunk contest this year is going to be fully fan vote. So you can be pretty much assured that Iman Shumpert is going to win. Especially if Lin is involved like he is rumored to be (helping with passing, etc.).
Too bad there is nothing of Iman Shumpert to get now before he...
I was reading the threads here about prospects, and rankings. It seems every year the Royals have guys at the top.
Does anyone one else wonder about the Royals prospects? They have had sooo many top guys in recent years. With basically only Butler and Grienke working out. I keep thinking this...
I used to collect football the most in the 80-90s, but since then I've shifted to all baseball primarily. I was wondering something about current sets. It is generally true that defensive players don't have many cards anymore? The reason I wonder is that I wanted to start a player collection of...
Even though I'm a Tigers fan, and I've been rooting for the guy, I figured he'd come back to earth at some point. It's just not happening though. He continues to hit every night, and his cards keep going up. It's nuts for a guy that wasn't even in the Tigers' top 20 prospects.

This looks nothing like him. Did UD screw up that bad with a top RC?
Edit: Here's the card for those that don't want to click on the link.
Just for some good discussion, which is worse in your mind using steroids or betting on baseball? I'm not saying specifics in either case, but in general. Obviously both are bad, but which is worse?
For me it would gambling. I think it ruins the game more than steroids. Steroids mainly cheats...
In some ways I think they should not name the rest of the guys, because it was under the agreement that it wouldn't get out. Then again, since Arod and Bonds were outed and we know there are another 103 guys out there, it seems only fair now to the players who didn't use to tell all. So that...
This was one of the bloodiest fights I've seen in a while. Both their white shorts were red and pink at the end. Good ending too.

Ok, here's the deal. I got a case in today. Busted the first two boxes and I've been shorted the autos in each box. However, I have gotten an Aflac Auto in each. Now, I thought the AFLACs were on top of the Chrome auto. Is that not right? I'm two chromes short too. Don't know if that makes a...
UPS just dropped off my case. Hopefully I get lucky. :D
