And of course Donruss was my favorite because it was the cheapest besides Topps, and Topps 89 was the crappiest set of baseball cards known to man.dazanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359599746419227369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-1144034534940840722006-04-02T23:22:00.000-04:002006-04-02T23:22:00.000-04:00The amazing thing about Tony Gwynn is that he has ...The amazing thing about Tony Gwynn is that he has the whitest sounding voice of all time. If I was told to listen to a clip of Ned Flanders and Tony Gwynn, that one of them was African-American and I had to pick from just their voices, Ned would win every time. This isn't a good or a bad thing, it has just always deeply fascinated me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-1143750616992005012006-03-30T15:30:00.000-05:002006-03-30T15:30:00.000-05:00September 5, 1987 Jack Howell had the broken bat h...September 5, 1987 Jack Howell had the broken bat home run at Yankee stadium on the NBC game of the week. it was the year of the juiced ball, cork, everything was flying out that year.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911546348926892846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-1143750159335522312006-03-30T15:22:00.000-05:002006-03-30T15:22:00.000-05:00Schu and Melendez played for the Phillies farm clu...Schu and Melendez played for the Phillies farm club in Portland in the 1980s, the Portland Beavers. They had a sweet run of players. One of my friends got sick and tired of saying "Francisco Melendez," so he just called him "Bill." He'd cheer for Bill, but there were only a couple of us who went to games (we were kids) and knew what he'd be yelling about. So, your idea did actually exist in some form.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10782617451740829046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-1143695556330682402006-03-30T00:12:00.000-05:002006-03-30T00:12:00.000-05:00Jack Howell was part of the Angels youth movement ...Jack Howell was part of the Angels youth movement in 86/87, along w/ Wally Joyner and Devon White. Great expectations for all. As an Angel fan living through those years, i remember a few things about Howell. Could not hit for average, struck out a bunch. Also hit a broken bat homer out of Yankee stadium (no cork) and was the only one on the team whose guns were bigger than Brian Downing's. Think how big Downing and Howell would have been on the juice...scary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-1143665203532662232006-03-29T15:46:00.000-05:002006-03-29T15:46:00.000-05:00No way that Bonds puts up with Sid Bream's smug as...No way that Bonds puts up with Sid Bream's smug ass constantly reminding him of the time Barry's arm wasn't strong enough to beat Molasses Sid home at the end of the '92 NLCS. People talk about McGwire-Sosa in '97 leading to Bonds' steroid use, but the fact is that it was Sid Bream's exposure of Bonds' weak left-field arm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-1143658470951789642006-03-29T13:54:00.000-05:002006-03-29T13:54:00.000-05:00Rick Schu was the reason that the Phillies moved M...Rick Schu was the reason that the Phillies moved Mike Schmidt to first in the mid-80's.

Did the tool company sign off on this? Were any royalties ever given or did they just get the shaft?Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00630256319923385951noreply@blogger.com
