Dang, this dude could hit but had to retire at 28. One of those classic if-only-he-had-good-knees kinda stories.

Had a very cool #mailday a few weeks ago.
Check this out! Those are one of a kind, hand-painted versions of two of my favorite cards of all-time.
Shout out to the talented @ElSantosWorld for doing the work. Give him your money!
Long before I’d ever heard of a super collector, I thought I had a pretty sweet Don Mattingly oddball collection—still protected in sweet MVP pages.
I work in the Chicago Daily News building and an old upside down photo of some Cubs caught my eye.
Turns out, the final issue of the paper was published on March 4, 1978 and the sports section included this photo of Hack, Rajah, Kiki and Riggs.
Pretty cool for hallway decor.
If you dig team-issued baseball cards, I’m not sure anyone does it better than the Cubs.
(Just wish they would always issue the cards in standard size.)
