I’m sorry to point this out, because you’ll never “unsee it”, but could not come up with a better pic of Pendleton besides this awkward tribute?! 😳😬

1986 isn’t packed full of great action shots, but there are certainly some. Honestly, it seemed almost every card of , & in the ‘80s was a great pic. And we got one more angle of ’s classic follow-through! 😍

I don’t care if he’s a catcher w/ only 20 steals over his 24 yr career…Rick Dempsey is looking to beat this bad boy out & is not just giving himself up w/ an easy sac bunt! Might as well get 2 guys on base to set yourself up for Weaver’s beloved 3-run HR! 😉👍

On this Sunday, I hope you can spend it with someone who makes you smile as big as Ralph Terry & Tom Tresh shown here.
(Shoutout to Randy S. Robbins for ID’ing the “other ” in this pic!👍)

Does anyone know unequivocally who the other player is (on right) besides Terry? I have my thought, but want to be sure. (Stinks that didn’t provide a caption on back for pics on front…took me decades + Google to figure out who was on a ‘60 WS card.)

This hurler is at just 4% despite his EPIC ‘71 no-hitter, one of greatest 1-game performances ever: Wise no-hit the AND jacked 2 HRs! (Only MLBer ever to do so.) The took notice & swapped this for Rick, making this trade his lasting legacy.😬🤷‍♂️

The is always helpful for . Gold glove winning pitcher put in OF & GG winning lefty 1B put at 2B. Then for any “min 1 game” at 2B or SS, I pick a longtime SS or 2B assuming they at some point manned the opposite keystone position.😉

Of all pitchers w/ 500+ starts since 1900, here are 3 w/ worst run support over career. This timeless Texan is 1st getting just 3.80 runs/game, this slippery 2nd at 3.92 & is 3rd w/ 3.94. Amazing to me none in Top 3 are from . (Stat from this bio.)

This icon made 105 starts for NY in which he went 9+ IP innings & allowed 1 run or less…he was 90-3 w/ 12 no decisions. In those 12 NDs, Tom was terrific, posting a 0.38 ERA over 117 IP, but no W to show for it. In 15 1-0 games w/ , Seaver was 6-9. 😬🤷‍♂️

Which is the more distracting/noticeable infielder “card pose issue”: Speier having his batting glove on his throwing hand or Fox & Martin seemingly unaware that they’ve already actually FIELDED the ball?!🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ (It’s a given these poses have no infield dirt in sight.)😂
