This 1950 Richie Ashburn card was posted by Tom Allshouse to the APBA Baseball group on Facebook. Thanks to Ken Schulz for bringing it to my attention. It’s a fun one. It starts out ok but once you get to 55 and you see the 7, you wonder “wait a…
Bob Gordon’s 1979 ALCS heads into Game 3. Here’s his wrapup. – Tom The series shifts to the Charm City (I lived there, liked it and still don’t know why it got dubbed the Charm City) with the Twins down two games to none. They’ve been outscored 18-4 and are…
I guess it’s appropriate that most of these Terrible Tuesday cards come at the beginning or at the end of player’s careers. That’s the case with this 1978 Tony Muser card. It’s at the tail end of his nine year career when he finished up with the Brewers. In 1978,…

Browsing through my 1987 set, I ran across Buddy Biancalana. He was in the Houston Astros envelope but as it turns out, he split the season with the Kansas City Royals in his last year in the majors. Now Buddy went 1 for 2 in his first year in the…
Even in the midst of hosting the Greater Michigan APBA Baseball Tournament, Pastor Rich Zawadzki had time to forward this card to me. Rich acknowledged that while I’ve posted plenty of Monster Babe Ruth cards before (he’s right, there are five), this one is worth a look. Indeed it is. …
On to Game 2 of the ALCS of Bob Gordon’s 1979 postseason replay. -Tom The Twins are hoping to even up the series after the O’s broke a 2-2 tie with a 4 run 8th. Mike Flanagan (27-9, 2.56, 23 CG), who shared the Cy Young with teammate Dennis Martinez,…
