" Managers sometimes try to change the styles of hitters. That's OK as long as they don't make the hitters so uncomfortable that they end up hurting the team more than helping it"

Alex Fernandez 1991 TM40 Card

Back of the card say's
The route Alex Fernandez took to the majors is a unusual one. The son of Cuban immigrants, he grew up in Miami,starred at Pace High and was a member of the 1987 USA junior national team that finished second to Cuba at the World Junior Tournament. In 88 he was a first- round draft pick of the Brewers but opted to attend the University of Miami, where he had a tremendous 89 season - 15 W, 2 L, 2.01 ERA- and was named Baseball America's freshmen of the Year.Alex then transferred to a junior college, Miami-Dade Communtity College South, so he could be eligible for the 1990 draft.(ML rules don'tallow college players to be drafted until after their junior year.) After a super 12-2, 1.19juco season, he was the #1 pick of the White Sox. He had a brief stint in the minors, made his ML debut August 2 and went 5-5 3.80 in the heat of Chicago's pennant race. The first-year pro ended 1990 on an ironic note as the winner of the Gold Spikes Award ,given to the nation's top amateur player.

I bought a bonus box of 2008 Topps series 1 at Wal-Mart

I bought a bonus box of 2008 Topps series 1 at Wal-Mart this weekend. Most of you already know you get 5 packs and a bonus 3 card pack. Along with this Ichiro I got 2 other Dick Perez cards. I have been reading a lot of baseball card bloggs where everyone is talking about the insert cards. I go through moods sometimes I like insert cards sometimes I don't. It is just hard for me to pay $2 for a pack of 10 cards which averages out to .20 a card. I am from the old school, I like the regular base set cards but when you go to these web-sites to do trading and stuff they will always want to know what you have for insert cards to trade. Now, this is when I like to get insert cards, when I can trade them. As I debate what I am trying to say in this blogg is I guess I dream of the day when I used to buy a whole pack of cards for a dime. I guess those days are long gone! The Perez cards are nice looking!

Trade with Stats on the back

Wow another GREAT TRADE!!! I am getting spoiled! Never in all my years of trading with dealers have I ever made so many good trades as I have with all the traders on-line bloggers. My most recent trade was with Mark partner on Stats on the back blogger. Mark is one of the first ones to make a comment on my blogg. He says he reads my blogg everyday and I appreciate that greatly!

When I started my baseball card blogg there were 2 things I wasn't going to discuss on it, they were my faith and politics. Well just a few days ago when I received a Truman card I broke my rule and discussed politics. Well now I am going to discuss my faith. It seems like there is some kind of higher power making sure I don't get to many doubles. It seems like a would be missing a few different Royals from different to complete my royals sets and those are the cards I have been getting in my trades. Wow! Amazing ......
