It ought to be the kind of thing I like, since raising the possibility of an even-up
trade of Albert Pujols for Ryan Howard prompts pundits to look back
in time when speculation about that kind of blockbuster swap wasn’t quite as fanciful
as it may be today.
But, in truth, it strikes me more the product of a slow news day as much
as anything substantive. I saw some online stories talking about the rumored trade
that were as adequately sourced as the mainstream media stories over the last week
that contended Tiger might make his return to the PGA Tour at the Masters. Way to
go out on a limb, guys.
I know that the expiration of contracts and the status of impending free
agency can sometimes make MLB officials do things that otherwise might appear unthinkable
at first blush, but Pujols for Howard? Not gonna do it.
(Ted Williams original artwork by Darryl Vlasak.)
One of the news stories I read used the silly rumor as an entree to take
another pass at an even sillier one from another generation: Ted Williams for Joe
DiMaggio.
The thinking here was that Williams would have benefited handsomely from
the short right-field stands at Yankee Stadium, and Joe D would have had a gay old
time playing pinball with the Green Monster. He would also be bidding farewell to
the cavernous center field and left-center Death Valley at Yankee Stadium that had
robbed him of extra-base hits on a boatload of occasions over the years.
Again, an unthinkable swap that would have enraged the fan bases in the
American League’s two great franchises.
And while it wasn’t quite in the same ballpark (figuratively speaking)
as Williams for DiMaggio or even, for that matter, Pujols for Ryan, the big trade
from a half century ago between Detroit and Cleveland was a dramatic and heartbreaking
event for thousands of fans from both cities.
On April 17, 1960, Rocky Colavito, the home run champion of the
American League was sent to Detroit, and Harvey Kuenn, the 1959 AL Batting
Champion, moved from the Motor City to the Indians, and at least at the start it seemed
like nobody at all was pleased with the switch.
Cleveland GM “Trader Frank” Lane expressed his bewilderment at all the
uproar, which in the early days of the 1960 campaign included dummies with his name
scrawled on them hanging from lampposts in Cleveland and picketing at the stadium.
“What’s all the fuss about? All I did was trade hamburger for steak.”

In the mail today, I found two more on-card autographs to add to my growing collection. Can you believe that I’m up to 188 different on-card autographs? Me either! I’m having a great time collecting these – it’s very addicting.
Erwin Claggett and Fred Hoiberg, both from 1995 Classic Rookies Autograph Edition.

This month I hosted the second group break of the Low Budget Baseball Club on Trading Card Central. Every month ten members chip in $20 for three teams each (and I usually toss in a box besides). We had four hobby boxes, and hit a pretty decent card – even though it’s an expired redemption. [...]

Normally I’m not one to do this, but I want that Redus autograph. So go here, here, and here, and enter to win. Fellow bloggers can go here, too.
Just remember when you go, pick anything other than that awesome Obak Redus and leave that for me. You wouldn’t have won anything without me telling you, [...]

Vintage Griffey – David Letterman’s Top Ten List
I found this the other day while surfing around on YouTube.
A great clip - It’s nice to see that ‘The Kid’ took a few minutes out of his day to get this done for the show. It’s also nice to see this humorous side of Griffey. While he is always [...]

Another intriguing date from the 1977 Padres schedule was April 29 against the Mets, listed as “KGB Sky Show.” What was this? A Cold War-era show of strength from the Soviet Union? An advertisement from a company that answered your questions via rot…
