James Anthony Abbott was born on September 19, 1967, in Flint, Michigan, played baseball at Michigan, pitched Team USA 🇺🇸 to a Gold Medal 🥇 at the 1988 Olympics, and spent 10 years in the big leagues.
I was so excited when this card of the former Wolverines pitcher arrived in my mailbox on Wednesday.
1988 Topps Traded #1T Jim Abbott
This card was sent to me via another awesome giveaway on Twitter.
Many thanks to Blanco Banco/ @Jayinprovidence , who gave away some 1980s baseball rookie cards...just because we asked.
Twitter is easily my favorite social media platform, and it's been made that way in part, a HUGE part, by the many terrific hobby people that I follow.
👉 If you aren't on Twitter, hey, I get it, but being part of our great hobby is a good reason to get involved.
My Twitter is @freehan11 ...give me a follow if you get to, or already there!
Thanks again, for taking time out of your day and reading my blog.
Have a great day!
PLAY BALL! 💗⚾️📺
Abbott is one of the good guys. I've actually debated on PC'ing him in the past, but I already collect way too many things already. As for Twitter... I really have never figured it out. I use it to advertise my blog posts and that's about it. Not even sure it helps ;)
ReplyDeleteI know. There's so many possibilities on what/who to collect.
DeleteEven with Bill Freehan, I've never expected to own every single card, or item, of his.
As for Twitter, I also dont know how much it helps, but I always make sure that I post.
Nothing else to do with my time.
Thanks.
