TTM #4
Hey guys, Drew back here. I got another Through the Mail yesterday, from none other than current Tigers star outfielder Curtis Granderson! Unfortunately, well, he didn't sign my cards. Instead, he sent a bent in half picture/postcard with him on it, signed. Well, at least he signed something for me! As the game is on my TV right now (Twins Tigers), Grandy is coming up in the 9th against Joe Nathan (another TTM signer). Should be cool, man on 1st now here he is.
He is 7-16 in his career against Joe Nathan, here is the pitch by pitch:
BTW in his last 3 at bats against Nathan, HR, 2B, 3B
1- Strike
2- Strike (uh oh) 0-2 Count
3- Base Hit! Everett moves to third, 1st and 3rd with nobody out!
How bout that, no outs, go Grandy! Here's that picture of the creased autographed picture thing:
Well, Grandy was no hero, as Nathan got all 3 outs, remind me next year to send to him! See Ya!

Grandpa Roy Question
Hey guys, Drew back here. After many posts today I will finish with our next question. I also changed the image on the top of the blog, showing newer packs, not from last year. It's more bland but I like looking at new packs. Also I just bought 2 things on eBay tonight, one thanks to Paul from Carl Crawford Cards, a 30 card lot of the 1994 Classic Capitol City Bombers Minor League Team set, which includes a card of my former teacher, Al Hammell. The second thing was a 50 card lot of Nick Swisher, hopefully good stuff, the guy's picture was of a sample pack! Anyway, here's tonights question:
The Triple Crown is a very rare event in baseball. Not many people get to cherish the position, but a few cherished it for a long time. There are 4 players in MLB history who had led their league (American/National) in batting average, home runs, and runs batted in (Triple Crown) in a single decade. One of them is Albert Pujols, who has led the National League in batting average, homers, and rbi's in the 2000's decade. Name the other 3!
1: Albert Pujols, 2000-2009
2. Rogers Hornsby, 1920-1929: Spastik Moose
3. Ted Williams, 1940-1949: Dan (The Other World)
4.
As always, please don't cheat, and remember these points are added to your points on the scoreboard, top 5 people with the most points win a prize at the end of the year. No using baseball refrence or almanac as it just is a way of cheating. And don't name more than 1 at a time unless us collectors need help with the question. Thanks and good luck!

Goodwin Blaster and some packs
Expect a better review of Goodwin soon, as for the blaster, so so. I have a tradelist put up for them, but I may decide to keep the legends to get signed in the possible future. Most will be for trade, but I also am keeping the Yanks. All of the Allen & ginter are for trade, and the O-Pee-Chees are also for trade, but I may want to save the Pujols because I really like it. Lastly, all of the Bowman Chrome other than the Chien-Mien Wang are also for trade. See Ya!
