11 Days of Freehan

My first Topps Chrome Cosmic card had arrived, and, it's Riley Greene, of course.
A very special Happy Baseball Birthday! to former big league pitcher, Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd, who's 65 today!
⚾️ "Oil Can" has a prominent place in the ever growing Boyd Binder, second only to Matthew Boyd in the amount of cards for a player with BOYD in their name.
👉 Because the binder with his cards are in storage, the images on this post are all from Trading Card DaDatabase.
🎂🎁🥳 Have a great day, Mr. Boyd, we love you and we appreciate you!
Play BALL! 🪔🛢⚾️
I have no Tyler Holton baseball cards, and, that needs to change.
Hopefully, Tyler will be in Topps update, or, in 2025 Topps Series One.
Tigers at the Guardians, 1 pm this afternoon.
Go Tigers, and, remember, as always, Play BALL! 🐅⚾️

Riley Greene will represent the Detroit Tigers is next Tuesdays All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas.
Play Ball! 🐅⚾️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'm hoping that I can do a Saturday Stuff post each week...let's start with what's happening today.
👉 Today's Immaculate Grid was a really good one, as I was able to use nine different Tigers players.
Score of 23, pretty good.
🐅⚾️ Anytime I can use Matthew Boyd and Bill Freehan together is always a good thing.
👉 Working on the never ending job of getting as many cards into binders as I possibly can.
I'm not always healthy enough to give my collection the attention it deserves, but I try my best.
🐅⚾️ As I'm writing this I'm watching the Tigers game in Houston today.
👉Former Tigers starter and future HOFer, Justin Verlander, was suppose to start for the Astros today, but was scratched due to neck tightness.
👉 It's 10-0 Tigers, bottom of the 3rd, and my favorite player, Riley Greene, is 3-3, w/ 2 HRs and 5 RBI!

#274 Riley Greene
🐅⚾️ I'm trying to keep up with all of Riley's cards, but, it isn't exactly easy.
👉 Tigers win, Riley w/ a career high 4 hits and 6 RBI game!
⏰️ Well, as usual, got distracted with other things, such as dinner, watching a Hallmark movie w/ my wife, and posting on TweetX etc,and playing some games on my phone.
👉 Do any of you play the Immaculate Grids?
Feel free to comment on how your weekend is going, and what, of any Immaculate Grids that you play each day.
👪 Hope all of you amazing Dad's out there have a terrific Happy Father's Day!
Oh, and, of course, Play BALL! ⚾️
