Topps March Madness, round 4 (vote!)

on March 14th, 2010 by handcollated

David DeJesus takes match-up #3.  Adam Kennedy protests by going 1-3 in today’s spring training match up against St. Louis with a triple.  On to  round 4.

The only thing I can’t figure out in this card is why Upton’s using an elusive slide to get into third base when there is the only person who [...]

Card Of The Week March 14

on March 14th, 2010 by NPB Card Guy

In honor of the Dodgers trip to Taiwan, here’s a Taiwanese baseball card:I know nothing about this card other than I think the player is from the Mercuries Tigers. I suspect it’s from the early 1990′s, but I don’t know that for sure.

2010 Topps Heritage Mets Team Checklist

on March 14th, 2010 by Paul

This set could contain Pat Misch’s only card that pictures him as a Met, and going by history it probably includes Pedro Feliciano’s only 2010 card.
