Tigers Card Tuesday- Colt Keith

                 Tigers Card Tuesday! 

You just never know what's gonna happen in a baseball game.

Last night in Houston, Tigers 3rd Baseman Colt Keith joined an exclusive Detroit Tigers club last night, hitting three home runs.

3️⃣ HRs in a Game, Detroit Tigers.

Tigers Card Tuesday- 1981 Drake's Steve Kemp

Food cards are fun.

This week's Tigers Card Tuesday! is my 1981 Drake's Steve Kemp. 

                1981 Drake's Big Hitters 

                         #27 Steve Kemp

✅️ 1981 Drake's Big Hitters on TCDB.

🐅⚾️ Steve is one of my All-Time favorite Tigers outfielders.

Kemp, Rusty Staub, and Jason Thompson were smashing lots of home runs in old Tiger Stadium in the late 1970s. 

🍰 Do you have any Drake's, or, other food related cards? 🍔

Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday.

Play BALL!  ⚾️ 

McGonigle Monday

 "...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.

Play Ball! ⚾️

Boyd Binder- More Oil Can

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!  ⚾️
