Tigers Card Tuesday-.2019 Stadium Club Ty Cobb

 This post is happening late on Tuesday night as my fibromyagia had kept me in bed most of the day.

It's summer time, and I knew I needed to post a Ty Cobb card, because, after all, peaches are my favorite fruit, and The Georgia Peach 🍑  is the greatest baseball nickname of all time! 

This 2019 Topps Stadium Club card, #215, is a perfect portrait of the legendary "Genius in Spikes"

The cool new baseball sign is from Temu, and it just arrived today. 

Temu.com  has lots of cool baseball signs. 

Hope you're having a great week, and, as always, thanks for taking time out of your busy day to stop by and read my blog. 

Play BALL! 🐅⚾️🍑🇺🇸

McGonigle Monday- All Star Weekend

Hope everyone had a fantastic Fourth of July weekend, it was certainly a memorable one as we celebrated 250 Years of America! 

This is such a cool card, looking forward to adding this to my Topps NOW collection. 

🇺🇸 Card is available until July 7th.

🐅⚾️ Tigers rookie Kevin McGonigle was selected to his first All Star Game, as a reserve for the American League squad. 

Kevin was well represented on Topps BUNT this weekend. 

Kevin collected 6 more base hits last week, and is batting .284 in 87 games played. 

After a 4-1 road trip vs the Yankees and Rangers, the Tigers are off today and start a home stand tomorrow vs the Athletics. 

Let's have a great week, hopefully, the Tigers will be in a better spot in the standings on Sunday night.

McGonigle Monday-

The Tigers did not play well last week at home, going 2-5 vs the Yankees and Astros. 

Kevin McGonigle walked 3 times yesterday. 

😵‍💫 Kevin committed his 9th error of the season yesterday vs Houston. 

9️⃣- You have to know he was at Yankee Stadium early today working on his defense. 

I added my 2nd card of Kevin this past week, from a contest I won on TwitterX. 

Have a great week, and, as always, Play BALL! 🐅⚾️

Tigers Card Tuesday- Keider Montero

Tigers RHP Keider Montero makes his debut on Tigers Card Tuesday! 

Montero has been filling on the rotation spot for the injured Justin Verlander. 

Keider is 3-5 this year, but his ERA is 3.68, and he has won 2 of his kast 3 starts. 

Absolutely love this edition of Topps Chrome Platinum, I got most of the base cards from the same guy that I talk with about the Living Set cards.
