First Detroit Tigers Topps Card of 2018

Last Wednesday my wife brought me home a box of 2018 Topps Series 1 Baseball cards.


The box is from Target here in Portage, and I asked her to go there because the Wal-Mart she works at never has any baseball cards the day they're released.


I have to say that I liked the cards more than I did when I first saw the images released.


There's something, I guess, about actually having them in your hands and seeing them up close makes a difference.


I only received one card of a Tigers player, and it was of slick fielding shortstop Jose Iglesias. 





What a great look at Jose making a play to throw out a baserunner! 


Iglesias avoided arbitration and signed a 1-year contract with the Tigers for 2018.




I love Jose, he's one of the best defensive shortstops the Tigers have ever had, and I think if he gets a little better offense this year he'll win a Gold Glove Award, because he's probably the best shortstop with the glove in the American League.


Now that the football season is officially over, it's now time to start to focus on baseball, as pitchers and catchers report to spring training in Lakeland on Valentine's Day.


It's almost time to PLAY BALL! ⚾️
