There are so many, but this is such a winner.

Love seeing Vladdy Jr going off in the playoffs. He's been a pc player for me ever since his cards started being produced. I really want to see him and his dad be the first father-son player duo be elected to the HOF. #BlueJays

Too much celebrating perhaps, but I'd celebrate a playoff series win over the Yankees any day.

Nathan @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social · 9h

See ya Yankees! #BlueJays

Nolan was 32 years old when this card was printed in 1979. By the time his career was over at the end of the 1993 season, he had over 2,000 more strikeouts than Walter Johnson, the all time leader as of 1979.

Gladden was in the outfield

Nathan @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social · 20h

Gaetti was at 3rd. Speier wasn't with the Twins for long at all. But Greg Gagne became the starter in '85/'86.

Chris Speier's 1972 season was worth 6.1 bWAR, tying him with 2021's Brandon Crawford for the second-most outstanding SS season in the SF Giants' era.

(2001 Aurilia: 6.7 bWAR)

An underrated shortstop, Chris Speier played the majority of his career w/ the #SFGiants. He also squeezed in 12 games with my hometown #MNTwins in 1984, becoming a player that fits in both my favorite team PCs. Speier wax a 3x All Star, had a 30.6 WAR, w/over 1750 hits & 700 RBIs across 19 seasons.

Brett Phillips has announced his retirement after 7 seasons with the Brewers, Royals, Rays, Orioles and Angels.

Phillips' walk-off hit in Game 4 of the 2020 World Series highlighted one of the wildest plays in recent Postseason history.

Thank You

That would be fitting

Nathan @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social · 3d

I would be surprised if even Fox kept him on after this. It's so over the top messed up.

Nathan @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social · 3d

Saw photos of the guy Sanchez assaulted. He really messed him up. It's all so crazy. Makes you wonder if Sanchez was doing more than just drinking.

Nathan @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social · 3d

This is all rather insane.

The police narrative of Mark Sanchez’s stabbing is truly bizarre, in the sense of “ah I see why they charged the guy who got stabbed.”

apnews.com/article/nfl-...

Details of the confrontation were disclosed in the affidavit, based on video footage and the truck driver's statement to police.
The video showed a man believed to be Sanchez running in the alley toward the truck, the affidavit said. The driver works for a company that specializes in commercial cooking oil recycling and disposal, and he was performed his work duties, it said.
Sanchez opened the truck door and began talking to the driver, the affidavit said. Sanchez told the driver he couldn't be at the loading dock and that Sanchez had spoken to the hotel manager, the document said. Sanchez smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred, the driver told police.

Sanchez followed the driver from side to side of the truck, the court document said. When the driver darted toward the driver's door, video showed Sanchez "grabbing and throwing" the driver toward a hotel wall, it said. The fight continued against a dumpster and Sanchez threw the driver to the ground, it said.
Sanchez climbed into the truck but got out when told by the driver he wasn't allowed in, it said. Sanchez repeated that he spoke to a manager and didn't want the driver to replace fryer oil, the document said. Sanchez tried again to get into the truck and blocked the driver from calling his manager, it said.
Believing he was in danger, the driver grabbed pepper spray from his pocket and sprayed Sanchez's face, it said. Sanchez wiped his face and advanced toward the driver again, it said.

The driver then pulled his knife and stabbed Sanchez as the ex-quarterback came at him, it said. The driver fell onto pallets on the ground, he told police.
"While P.T. was on the ground, he could only see the feet of Mr. Sanchez coming at him, making P.T. realize that he was in a life-or-death situation," the affidavit said.
