    He's not going anywhere near Beltraan.

I guess I hadn't seen enough of his career to date to really form much of an opinion on his glove/arm/feet, etc. prior to this post-season, but he really is much closer to the elite class of defenders than I ever suspected. Agreed FK.

    This card is especially kool cause the photos from the real card (wrongly stating game 2) and this color version were taken a second apart. Back in the day, or more specifically in '69, they didn't have MVP's for the playoffs. At least I'm pretty sure they didn't. Not really sure when that started. So, for the 1969 N.L.C.S. I'm going to make an MVP card for the playoffs. Who should win the MVP? (It can go to a player on the other team-if you check out Aarons #s) http://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/1969_NLCS.shtml I'm thinkin Shamsky? Agee & Jones co-mvps? Hank's numbers do deserve it. But how can I not give it to a Met?

    I'd say Gnomes is a lil pumped. Lil bit.

Funny you guys noticed this. Earlier in the broadcast, much early on, he was saying something, something to do with a catcher and catching, and I thought just that: that he was babbling like a fool. I like Tim overall. He'll be missed.

    dgwphotography wrote: Did you tweak the sharpness on any of these? These just pop. I do so much photo tweaking to each individual image I can't recall on these two. More then not I find myself making the photo a tini bit more blurry to match with the sharpness, or lack of, in the border. But those two I definitely didn't do any blurring- cause I made that border-probably used as is. After any resizing I always sharpen it once, to pull the pixels back tight, so that may have been done. That usually returns it to it's former sharpness. I was always against making action shots in years that Topps did not do that, but after seeing the cards at CARDS THAT NEVER WERE site I realized that done well they can be so kool looking and give the viewer a WOW! moment.

    Frayed Knot wrote: Frayed Knot wrote: I'm just not sure that a runner tripping over a prone fielder qualifies as obstruction. What's the rule? Does it have to be intentional or does that matter in any way? Because that wasn't intentional. I guess technically Middlebrooks, because he didn't have the ball, can't block the runner from trying to advance. The rule is, that once obstruction is indicated, the play is allowed to play out and it becomes a judgement call as to whether the runner would have advanced had he not been interfered with. Craig was clearly out at home but had he not fallen over the prone Middlebrooks he probably would have made it. McCarver is saying that intent has nothing to do with it which, while true, doesn't mean that every UNintentional obstruction results in an automatic free base. Thanks for the extended view. Yea, if he didn't go down he scores ahead of the throw that just nipped him. Hey, good thing we didn't have to see that happen to the Mets, huh?

    They say unintended obstruction is obstruction. So good call, great new way to see a ballgame end. Too bad it's a World Series game Boston.

    Wow, tied in the 8th.

The guy in the Death mask down on field level, for example. And Vin Scully, just letting the celebration happen without speaking a word. Beautiful. Agreed#17. My favorite part is the screen showing Marty Barret all happy and ready to take his check. oe:I guess he still got it.

    Some new addtions to old pages. I wanted to get the '69 world series cards up during the world series but I may not make it.
  22. Zvon
    I always bitch about how bobbleheads never look like the guy, but now I see when they do they can look a lil creepy. Lil bit.

    It's amazing that I still find new ones every day. This is a nice one. This batch must be the earliest photos of the area. Or would Botz be even earlier? Anyone have a 68 Mets yearbook? A better scan of that one^ would be most appreciated. I wonder if this was out there at Huggins Field and if so what area? I think it might be near the sign.

    Gratz to Wright and Young. Wright was Wright. Young was very good. Lags was ripped off.
