Happy Baseball Birthday! Jared Kelly

Just wanted to post a Happy Baseball Birthday! salute to Jared Kelley, a magnificent artist who draws cards for the Topps Living Set each week. 



Jared's card this week is Texas Rangers rookie pitcher Kumal Rocker.








My favorite card of Jared's isn't a Tigers player, as you probably think. 







Topps Living Set Card #770, Fred Lynn

Jared sent me a signed card of Fred, my All-Time favorite BoSox player.

Jared, I hope you had a great Birthday, my friend, and, well, I'm still hoping you'll be the one to draw the card of Matthew Boyd as a Chicago Cub. 

Play BALL!  ⚾️

One More

My beloved Detroit Tigers are heading to Seattle tonight after beating the Cleveland Guardians, 6-3, in Game 3 of the AL Wild Card Round.

πŸ…⚾️ Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler put the Tigers up, 2-1, with a solid HR in the 6th.


 Catcher Cards RULE!

πŸ…⚾️ Detroit added 4 runs in the 7th, and, after some 8th inning drama, held on for the win.
