McGonigle Monday- Kevin and The Georgia Peach

 Two. 

126 Years.

In the 126 year history of the Detroit Tigers only two players, Ty Cobb, The Georgia Peach, and Tigers rookie Keving McGonigle, have recorded 100 hits in under 100 career games. 

🐅⚾️ McGonigle, batting .282 in his rookie campaign, now has 102 hits, including his leadoff home run vs the Angels yesterday in Anaheim. 

The Tigers are in Chicago tonight for a three game series vs the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

🐻 I avoided the problem of my Tigers playing against my favorite pitcher, as Matthew Boyd pitched on Saturday (W vs Twins). 

Have a great week, and, as always, let's all....Play BALL! ⚾️

For once, AL Kaline is jealous, because of Bill's smooth looking chapeau! 

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.

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. 

Play BALL! 🐅⚾️

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tigers Card Tuesday- Riley Greene

The Tigers are not playing well.

After last night's 8-2  loss to the first place Cleveland Guardians, the Tigers are now 2-8 in their last 10 games.

Riley Greene had two hits last night (yes, he did get picked off 1st Base. 😐)

                    Tigers Card Tuesday!

Blog Batt Around- UGH, those Twins

If you're old enough to remember the 1987 American League Championship Series, well, then, you'll understand my response to the latest Blog Bat Around. 

I started disliking/disgust of the Minnesota Twins in that '87 ALCS, and, as a result of that ugly 5 game series loss by my beloved Detroit Tigers, the Twinkies officially replaced the New York Yankees as the team I disliked the most. 

The fact that the Twinkies won the World Series in '87, and, again in 1991, with former Tigers ace and future Hall of Famer, Jack Morris.

The last half of the 1990s were not good for the Tigers, especially when facing them Twins Ace Brad Radke. 

I don't own this 2005 Fleer Ultra card of Brad Radke, but, its a cool baseball card, and, I wouldn't mind having one

 

The reign of terror continued in the 2000s with sluggers Justin Morneau and future HOFer, Joe Mauer.

In the 2010s it was Brian Dozier crushing baseballs against, seemingly, every Detroit pitcher. 9

I was born in 1960, is my favorite of all the Topps cards of the decade. 

When he's healthy, Byron Buxton is a magnificent ballplayer.
