"...its just another McGonigle Monday."
Been thinking about a new Monday post to start the week.
Then, yesterday, I saw this, and, well, this young Detroit Tigers fan sealed the deal.
🥽 Hope young Cece applied for that patent pending after creating MCGONIGOGGLES.
Kevin McGonigle has that rare quality is a young prospect...he absolutely loves to play baseball.
My only card of Kevin is his base Topps NOW card of 2026.
👀 Doing an ebay search this morning shows plenty of affordable Bowman base cards of the native from Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania...McGonnigoggles not included.
🥽 Certainly like the Flying Tigers card of Kevin.
Hope that each and every one of you has a wonderful week, and I thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by and read my blog.

Until searching through eBay last week I hadn't remembered this 1991 Topps Stadium Club card of Oil Can Boyd before.
📱(Please remember that I only have my phone to take pictures)
It's easily the coolest card of his, a nice in action photo of him and former big league catcher Mike Fitzgerald after what was an obvious complete game victory (you kids can look that up).
It's now secured in the binder, a great purchase of $1.67... ##yeahBOYD!
Have a great rest of your day and thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by and read my blog.
Play BALL! ⚾️
The Tigers are not playing well.
After last night's 8-2 loss to the first place Cleveland Guardians, the Tigers are now 2-8 in their last 10 games.
Riley Greene had two hits last night (yes, he did get picked off 1st Base. 😐)
Tigers Card Tuesday!
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.
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.
