Tigers Card Tuesday...Hello from Idaho

How's everyone doing today?



Today is day #2 of our vacation in the beautiful State of Idaho, and we're just blown away by it's beauty.


There have been 30 Big league ballplayers born in Idaho, most notably a HOFer by the name of Harmon Killebrew.


🐯⚾ This is the only card I could find on TCDB of Killebrew w/ a Detroit Tigers player on it, from 1964 Topps. 


6️⃣4️⃣ Al Kaline had 101 RBI in 1963, leading the Tigers...and sharing a card with "The Killer" is good enough to make Tigers Card Tuesday! 


The back of the '64 RBI Leaders card also has former Tigers players listed, with Rocky Colavito w/ 91 RBI, Norm Cash w/ 79, Dick McAuliffe w/ 61, and Billy Bruton w/ 49. 



Harmon Killebrew was born in Payette, Idaho, which is quite a bit of a trek from where I'm staying.


I picked up this sign at a Hobby Lobby today.




It was a must purchase.

Have a great night, Play BALL!
