Blog Batt Around- UGH, those Twins
If you're old enough to remember the 1987 American League Championship Series, well, then, you'll understand my response to the latest Blog Bat Around.
I started disliking/disgust of the Minnesota Twins in that '87 ALCS, and, as a result of that ugly 5 game series loss by my beloved Detroit Tigers, the Twinkies officially replaced the New York Yankees as the team I disliked the most.
The fact that the Twinkies won the World Series in '87, and, again in 1991, with former Tigers ace and future Hall of Famer, Jack Morris.
The last half of the 1990s were not good for the Tigers, especially when facing them Twins Ace Brad Radke.
I don't own this 2005 Fleer Ultra card of Brad Radke, but, its a cool baseball card, and, I wouldn't mind having one
The reign of terror continued in the 2000s with sluggers Justin Morneau and future HOFer, Joe Mauer.
In the 2010s it was Brian Dozier crushing baseballs against, seemingly, every Detroit pitcher. 9
I was born in 1960, is my favorite of all the Topps cards of the decade.
When he's healthy, Byron Buxton is a magnificent ballplayer.

No Card on the Table (5/4-5/10/2026)
We moved this week.
From three years living in Motels in Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, we've moved into a home and are renting a room.
And this point, there's no room for a table, but, hopefully, that'll change in the coming weeks.
Here's two card, no table.
These 1969 Milton Bradley game cards were gifted to my by someone on TweetX.
Thanks, and, as always, thanks for taking time out of your day to stop by and reading my blog.

Tigers Card Tuesday/Card on the Table (3/17-22/2026)
It's a cool combo today on ye olde blog, a two fer' Tuesday, if you will.
I've combined Tigers Card Tuesday & Card on the Table for one post, because, well, I was battling fibromyalgia for a few days and didn't have the energy.
🐅⚾️Any time I can feature a card of the greatest hitter in Tigers history, it's definitely a good thing.
🍑 The Georgia Peach won 12 American League batting championships, hit .366 for his entire career, and, was, fittingly, the first player elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
If you're a baseball card fan, and youre on TwitterX, you should, hopefully, been following Cigar Box Cards for great hobby content.
Also, the Olde English D wood block is from Cash Lumber , a Christmas gift...or, his website, here.
Have a great week, and, as always, I appreciate you taking time out of your day to stop by and read my blog.
Play BALL! 🐅⚾️🍑
