Take a look at the ultimate treasure from 2009 Topps Allen & Ginter. It is a DNA relic of 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. While I am not sure where the hair came from, a quick inspection makes me wonder if that is one of Honest Abe’s eye lashes. Creepy? Absolutely.
Odds of [...]

It comes with a heavy heart that I have decided to shut down the ‘Maybin-Meter’. With what was once a fun way to track Cameron Maybin’s journey through his first full baseball season as a major league player, it has become a lot less enjoyable since his demotion to AAA ball.

Eddie Vedder, the lead singer of Pearl Jam, makes quick work of his chance to throw out the first pitch at Wrigley Field. But it does look like he fired up a pretty good one though…
