The Classic Wilmer 'In Action' shot.



That nine of the top eleven vote-getters this month play 'Not Pitcher' as their position shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

Thanks to Ben and congrats to the winners. Our team may suck at times
but damn if they aren't a handsome bunch on those cards!

(seems I'm always five games behind in my voting)

[Guest themetfairy]

Love it!

Great work, as always!

Sewald's appearance on that card is his 2017 highlight. Thank you Grimm.

It's too bad he had to detach his leg to get that pose.

I think it speaks volumes that Paul Sewald is our reliever of the month.

We should see what Brian Stokes is doing these days.

Sewald!!

This thread reminded me how much I enjoyed the deGrom Friday night game in Pittsburgh. Just a perfect game.

Nice to think about in light of the disaster yesterday.
