Sincerely,
Hand Collated

2009 Topps Barry Larkin

on July 17th, 2009 by JT

Will A-Rod’s admission to cheating help Barry Larkin with Hall of Fame voters? I sure hope so. Larkin was overshadowed by Ozzie Smith early in his career, and then A-Rod later in his career, but the dude could play. He was one of the best all-around shortstops in the majors, winning the 1995 NL MVP [...]

Bad Wax Presents – 1st Round Draft Pick Cards – Kyle Gibson

on July 17th, 2009 by chemgod

Kyle is a Mizzou product and the Twins first round pick in this year’s draft.  His best pitches are the slider and the fastball.  Even though his fastball tops out at around 92 MPH, he makes up for it with a plus slider that looks just like his fastball and deceives a lot of hitters.  [...]
