SABR Baseball Cards

Congratulations to Bill White on a tremendous honor.

Rick Swig amassed Giants artifacts dating to the 1880s. Now, the ‘right people’ have them The collection donated to Cooperstown doesn’t include Willie Mays items, which were held back for inclusion at a potential San Francisco museum.

An incredible Giants collection takes its rightful place in Cooperstown.

Happy 84th birthday to the late, great Dick Allen. Allen is finally a Hall of Famer, an honor that was long overdue. A 7-time AS and the 1972 AL MVP, he spent just one season with LA in 1971. That said, it was a rather productive season as he batted .295 with 23 HR and 90 RBI.

This was fun work. Here are the three things I learned that were most interesting to me.
1️⃣The same guy has two cards in the 1914 set.
2️⃣Of the 11 guys to change teams, only two got new art.
3️⃣Of the 139 guys not to change teams, one got new art anyhow.

Cardboard Crosswalk: 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jack The 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jack sets are similar enough that Jefferson Burdick assigned both the same E145 designation in his American Card Catalog. Indeed for many Cracker Jack cards the only clues…

I just love the jerseys. They throwbacks to the 1925 NY Giants.

Ken Oberkfell, Bruce Sutter, Jim Kaat, Whitey Herzog, Doug Bair, Darrell Porter, Bob Forsch, Glenn Brummer...and then my eyes started hurting.
