Bill Freehan
is, as you all know, my baseball hero.
🐅⚾️ I was going to post his 1963 Topps RC #466 tomorrow, but, when I was scrolling through TweetX and watching today's Bears-Lions game I decided to go with it today
My sincere hope that all of you reading this post are healthy and happy.
Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃

Day 8
In yesterday's post I commented how Bill was plunked an American League leading 20 times...well, in 1968, the pitchers of the Junior Circuit hit him 24 times!
🎯 Always wondered why Bill didn't get a HBP card instead just a plain Walk card.
✍️ Had to do a re-write after the first post so I could get it in before midnight, as my fibromyagia decided it 2as time to flair up again.
See ya'll tomorrow, Play BALL! 🐅⚾️

Day 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
These two specially made art cards especially the hand drawn card using the 1960 (year I was born) Topps design are so cool and I really was fortunate to have them made.
I don't remember what years these cards were made and I couldn't find either artist, Card Art Show & Cheap Seats Cards on TwitterX.
👀👀 I found Cheap Seats cards HERE.
UNANIMOUS!
Tarik Skubal received all 30 first place votes in the 2024 Cy Young Award balloting the Baseball Writers Association of America.

Day 3
Bill hit exactly 200 home runs in his 15 year big league career, 100 at Tiger Stadium & 100 on the road.
A very special Happy Baseball Birthday! post to honor Detroit Tigers LHP Tarik Skubal, who is celebrating turning 28.
🐅⚾️ One of the greatest seasons for a Tigers pitcher, Tarik won the American League Pitching Triple Crown, winning 1️⃣8️⃣ games, striking out 2️⃣2️⃣8️⃣ batters, and leading the league w/ a 2️⃣.3️⃣9️⃣ ERA.

🐅⚾️ Hopefully it will be a very special Birthday for Tarik later today when he's announced as the American League Cy Young Award Winner.
