Late Labor Day post: A rookie Curt Flood who sacrificed his career (and, likely, any chance at the Hall of Fame) by fighting management on behalf of free agency

A fun card with added trade information

Usually when you see a kid has written another city on a card, they’re recording a trade. In this case, the kid wrote “Detroit” on Philley’s face. Philley had already been traded from Detroit to the Phillies.

I got these cards from a big lot of commons back in 2020 and, while there were obviously lots of cards, there did seem to be a higher concentration of Tigers than other teams, meaning the original owner was probably from Detroit or otherwise a fan of the Tigers.

Anyway, all that to say, this card is fun because, instead of keeping track of a player’s move, this one was a Detroit fan who go needed to make it clear “YOU CAME FROM DETROIT, TRAITOR!”

Just a fun little look into the past.

Orange color match because IT’S PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE SEASON!

I might be basic, but there’s nothing basic about a Maris rookie!

Critical Infrastructure Man returns! (Not based on recent events)

Again, want to be clear, this is not based on any actual events or the drama that occurred. Not trying to imply there's more drama, I just wanted to do another Critical Infrastructure Man edit
