While doing my Birthday and Anniversary posts, I try to find the perfect image honoring the player or event I am writing about. And being that this is a baseball and baseball card blog, I have found that Ebay is a great tool for finding images.
So when I happened to find the 2000 Fleer – Club 3,ooo subset, [...]

I’ve been sick as a dog lately and even temporarily allowed my domain to expire. As always, please remember to call ahead to ensure that the player is indeed signing and that the times listed are correct. Also several of the high-profile signings are requiring you to get bracelets, please make sure you know [...]

Jim Palmer 1974 Topps
36 years later and this card still looks pretty good. I was able to find this one on Ebay and I think I got it for a pretty good price considering how old the card is.
Although you cannot see it via my scan, the colors of this card are still extremely bold [...]

I’m glad I’m not a Florida Marlins fan. And it’s not because of that silly looking fish that serves as the team’s mascot.
Nope, I’m glad I’m not a fan of that team because then I don’t have to be extremely
upset that Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Player’s Association
had to meet with the Marlins’ brass to make sure they actually use the money given
to the team under the revenue-sharing agreement that is in place across Major League
Baseball.
As it is, I’m still upset that a professional franchise doesn’t attempt to put the
best product on the field that it can. That practice cheats the fans, the players
and all of the other teams in the league, while providing more money for the owner(s).
With the Marlins’ practice of spending freely to build a World Series winner and then
dismantling the team, it’s sort of a surprise this wasn’t brought up before.
And apparently, the Marlins aren’t the only team to receive such a reprimand. From
a release by MLBPA: “In recent years, the union has had concerns that certain clubs
have not lived up to this requirement, and has consulted regularly with the commissioner’s
office about those concerns. The Florida Marlins are one of a number of clubs that
have been discussed.”
It’s already a sport where certain teams have no chance at winning a championship
from the start of the season because of financial constraints, etc. But then take
into account that some teams don’t even spend the money given to them to field a more
competitive team, and you have an even more failed system.
I’m somewhat surprised a release was even issued on these discussions, although not
many details were released.
“In response to our concerns that revenue sharing proceeds have not been used as required,
the Marlins have assured the Union and the Commissioner’s Office that they plan to
use such proceeds to increase player payroll annually as they move toward the opening
of their new ballpark,” said Michael Weiner, MLBPA executive director.
Of course, the Marlins said they were doing everything to field a good team, and MLB
basically said no comment.
If I’m a fan of a team where this information gets out as fact, even if it was rumored
before, I’d do some serious reconsideration of my season ticket package and attendance
until a I saw improvement in the payroll.
And in an odd coincidence since this release, the Marlins signed pitcher Josh Johnson
to a four-year, guaranteed $39 million contract. Well, at least Marlins fans might
see more of these types of signings.
