@Shagging_Flies @CardPurchaser @RetroCardSnaps @JunkWaxHeroes This is partly why baseball still matters much less across the culture in the 2020s than the 1990s

Unlicensed cards in boxes of sausage biscuits is an era I miss. @CardPurchaser @RetroCardSnaps @JunkWaxHeroes

Happy birthday to Alex Ochoa, who had a surprisingly high peak from 1999-2000 and a rocket arm in right field

Not enough people talk about Alex Ochoa • .279/.344/.422 (.766 OPS), 97 OPS+ • .914 OPS, 98 RBI from 1999-2000 • 807 GP, 597 H, 196 XBH, 261 RBI • 2002 WS Champ with Anaheim • .727 BA v. Doug Drabek (12 PA) • Played for 6 teams in 8 years • Terrific defensive outfielder • 23 Rfield in 4768.0 innings • Traded 7 times in his career • Pretty great Showdown card • 39 XBH, 52 RBI, 58 K per 162 • Only once had more than 43 K • Never struck out more than 76x • Played 6 years in Japan after MLB • Top Similarity Score: Chris Singleton • 98th all-time in Total Zone Runs as RF • (but 261st all-time in games played in RF) • Only player to cycle in both MLB and NPB! • 2012 Red Sox coach under Bobby Valentine • 2 career leadoff HR, both off @AndyBenes40 • Pro total: .286 BA, 2173 H, 647 XBH, 1043 RBI • Only 25 players with at least 600 PA across the 1999 and 2000 seasons maintained a .300/.390/.520 slash line over that span; Ochoa's 70 strikeouts are by far the fewest among that group

I have 27 cards of Juan Gonzalez. This is the only one that has a glove.

Don't watch much NCAA basketball but that was incredible by the UCONN huskies.

Today's #MiLBCoD is 1992-93 Fleer Excel Albany Polecats Ugueth Urbina. In reading about Ugee, I had completely forgotten about how his career ended. Tell me your favorite story about the player, team, ballpark, etc. Especially if it is Minor League. RTs are appreciated.

Cliff Floyd is probably the best player in Albany Polecat history.

Game 7 of the World Series. Bottom of the 9th, bases are loaded, 2 outs, and your team is up by 1
Albert Pujols is at the plate . You have your choice of any pitcher, of any era in his prime. Who gets the call?

Happy 59th birthday Brian Jordan. He played baseball & football (Falcons 1989-1991). Of the 67 players who played in both MLB & the NFL, he played the most MLB games (1,456). He was a longtime Braves analyst after retirement. Here is a complete run of his Topps base cards.

Dominic Smith is the first player in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam in his team debut, per Elias.

Usually he goes over the train track

Who’s the most dominant player you’ve ever seen?
Not the greatest career — just pure dominance at their peak.
The kind of player who felt unfair to watch.
Who’s your pick?👇

It seems long overdue but maybe Eric Davis is receiving some due for how good he was. He was one of the greats of the game for a time.

I'd argue this was the favorite card of 1991 Upper Deck for many across the Southeast. @RetroCardSnaps @JunkWaxHeroes
