Back with another binder page ready to go!
1980 topps Dwight Evans, Dale Murphy, Mets team card, Andre Dawson, Dave Kingman/Gorman Thomas '79 HR Leaders, Dave Steib RC(!), Carlton Fisk, Yaz/Lou Brock '79 Highlights (3000 Hits), 1979 topps Mark Fidrych
Why Purchased: An entire page of almost vintage stars of the day and Hall of Famers, duh.
Keepers: Definitely Andre Dawson and maybe Kingman/Gorman Thomas (though I will part with it for the right offer).
Notes: The negativity and/or wangst of Mets twitterers make it seem like they haven’t won a game at all this year, but… well, okay they are tied for the second worst record in the NL (at 12-18), but that’s only 6 games under .500 right now. To read twitter makes it sound like they’ve already been mathematically eliminated from pennant contention though. That’s Cubbie territory, dammit! Quit stealing our gimmick!
…
Wait, no. Actually, y’all can have it. I refuse to be a negative bum, wallowing in mediocrity and negativity. I want a f***ing winner, dammit! (Gee, I sure do rant a lot these days…)
Not a whole lot of star power on that Home Run Leaders card huh? At least not these days. They are both kinda forgotten.
Also, I keep having to remind myself that the Brewers used to be in the American League.
Another rookie of a non-Hall of Famer that was a star of his day.
The Lou Brock reminds me that cards of him in a Cubs uniform just upset me…
Mind-Blowing Statistics: Nothing much coming to mind, so we’ll go with Lou & Yaz both getting their 3000th hit in 1979 I guess.
Thanks for reading!
Dale Murphy should probably be a Hall of Famer…
