July 12, 1955, County Stadium, Milwaukee: Willie Mays of the Giants leaps at the fence and robs Ted Williams of a two-run homer in the All-Star Game. The NL came back from 5-0 down and won 6-5 on Stan Musial's homer in the 12th. Mays then singled and scored twice. Better than The Catch? #WillieMays #AllStarGame

This family almost threw away $3 MILLION in vintage baseball cards 🤯💰
While clearing out their great-grandfather’s belongings, they nearly tossed a torn paper bag that contained seven T206 Ty Cobb cards featuring the legendary "King of the Smoking Tobacco World" back, which they all ended up selling for about $3 million 😳

I am still amazed how all of the baseball hall of famers ever figured out how to play the game without spin rate, exit velocity, launch angle, spine angle, hit trax, and all the data and analytics gurus.
I guess they just busted their ass, outworked people and were tough or just got lucky.
Awesome!
Every Original Diamond King, autographed.
It took another collector and me TWENTY YEARS to complete this collection.
Over 320 autographs featuring some of the most iconic players ever to play the game of baseball.
I just wanted to share this incredible collection so everyone can enjoy it.

Willie Mays outside Seals Stadium — San Francisco, 1958.
The Giants' first season by the Bay, and the Say Hey Kid was electric: he hit .347 with 29 homers and 96 RBIs, stole a major-league-best 31 bases, and finished runner-up for the NL MVP. On April 15 he introduced California to big-league ball with two hits and two RBIs in an 8-0 Opening Day rout of the Dodgers before 23,448 at Seals Stadium.
⚾ Mays or DiMaggio — the greater San Francisco baseball icon? 👇️

Rube Waddell never used the locker rooms and would come to the stadium in street clothes and strip down naked and change into his uniform for everyone to see.
He then would proceed to grab drinks and hot dogs from spectators and down them before getting to the pitcher’s mound.
Happy 150th birthday, Rube - one of a kind.

Happy Birthday Jerry Rice.
Montana to @JerryRice was one of the most lethal combinations in #NFL history.
Joe hits Jerry for a TD on 3rd and 20, what a throw and catch.

Cal Ripken Jr. won the 1991 Home Run Derby at SkyDome with a then-record 12 homers in 22 swings, including seven in a row.
The next day he won All-Star Game MVP, and he eventually finished the season as the AL MVP too. That's a ridiculous three-part stretch.
Derby winner, All-Star MVP, league MVP, all in the same year.

For the 9th consecutive year there were more K’s than hits in the @MLB which had never happened in the history of the game until 9 years ago!
Only 7 MLB hitters hit (.300) and the All Time strikeout record was broken!
The game is broken and every true baseball fan can see it!
