There certainly was plenty of stuff going on in the sports world, including the running of my favorite horse race, the Kentucky Derby.
I'm not very knowledgeable about horse racing, but I pay attention to racings Triple Crown of The Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and The Belmont.
🐴 Medina Spirit was the winning horse in the 147th Run for the Roses, now we wait and see if it will make a run at Pimlico and The Preakness Stakes.
🎩 The real winner, of course, was the great Tom Brady, who had social media with his fashionable attire.
🏈 Question... how're you feeling about your favorite NFL teams draft?
🦁 My Lions drafted well, apparently, but my favorite pick by Detroit came after the draft when the signed a free agent running back named Rakeeem BOYD!
The young man played football at the University of Arkansas, and, of course, is automatically my favorite new player for the upcoming camp.
➡️ Yes, of course I looked up his football cards.
He'll be a welcome addition to the BOYD Binder.
💥 Speaking of cards, the best card I saw this past week cane yesterday, when @WTHB gave us this beautiful "Then and Now" card of my hero.
🤔 Maybe he'll make a copy for me.

Hey, Kyle Busch won at Kansas Motor Speedway...just a few hours after I posted a Happy Birthday blog post!
🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
How awesome was that!
As I said in yesterday's post, if Kyle Busch wasn't racing, I'd pay little, or no, attention to NASCAR after the Daytona 500.
🐯⚾ Yes, this is a baseball blog, and yes, my Tigers are the worst team in baseball.
At 8-21, the first month of the baseball season hasn't been good in the Motor City, and it's not looking like it's gonna get better any time soon.
Honestly, I suspected that 2021 was gonna be rough, but it's far worse.
The big thing for me is that the Tigers, albeit injuries, have NO FIRST BASEMAN to backup Miguel Cabrera.
Jonathon Schoop, Niko Goodrum, Harold/Willie Castro, they aren't first baseman, and as fans have let their frustrations out on Twitter the past week, it's quite apparent the Tigers are willing to lose a ton of games until the hitting prospects are ready.
That may be 2022, we hope, but it might be 2023, because the Tigers have bad ballplayers that are, at best, bench players...at the far end of the bench.
That said, I'll be watching again tomorrow night when the Tigers play the Red Sox at Fenway Park...just as I've done for 54+ years.
🐯 And, of course, collecting Tigers baseball cards will also continue.
The next card I'm looking forward to arriving is this Topps Living Set Jemier Candelario card.
👉 Candelario is the 12th Detroit Tigers player to be featured in the Living Set.
🤔 Not sure why Topps choose Jemier as the next Detroit player in the never ending set, but he'll be a welcome addition, nonetheless.
🤔 Did you watch The Derby? What about yesterday's race? How do you feel your football team did in this years draft?
Have a great week, and here's to everyone of you staying safe, having fun, and cheering on your favorite teams.
Play BALL! ⚾
You had yourself a weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy beloved Eagles got the Heisman Trophy winner and they needed WR help. Then they took a talented but oft-injured C/G in the second.
Didn't watch The Derby, or NASCAR, or follow the NFL Draft. Heck... I barely followed baseball's box scores over the weekend. It's cool that you're a Lions fan. My best friend's husband is a HUGE Lions fan, so if they aren't playing the Packers or Seahawks, I'll root for them.
