    Photo by Rich Pilling/MLB Photos via Getty Images Ryno’s gone way too soon. Let’s celebrate his Hall of Fame career and life.

      Back in January, when we knew the five former players who were going to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame for 2025, I wrote a post on those five players, mentioning how many cards I had of each of them. I went back to that post to see if I had gained any cards of Dick Allen, Dave Parker, CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki or Bobby Wagner since. I did. None for Sabathia or Wa...2025

    Fans in the Wrigley Field bleachers in 1977 | Photo by Heinz Kluetmeier /Sports Illustrated via Getty Images It was one of those wacky mid-1970s games. The 1977 Cubs contended for the NL East title for a good portion of the season. As I’ve noted many times, they hit 25 games over .500 in late June (47-22) and were eight games ahead in first place.

    Photo by Ron Vesely/MLB Photos via Getty Images A couple of these deals did bear fruit, eventually. The Cubs had been in marginal contention from 1977-79 and began 1980 like they’d do the same. They were 11-6 on May 3 and tied for first place in the N.L. East. Then things went south, and in a hurry. From July 2 through the end of the season the Cubs went 32-58 and wound up with a 98-loss s...2023

Timeline

  • 2025
    "In the top of the ninth, the Braves called on closer Bruce Sutter, the Hall of Fame pitcher who was not only largely ineffective while with the Braves but signed a massive free agent deal with Atlanta prior to the ‘85 campaign that included deferments that paid him more than $1M per year through 2022 - a contract that was arguably worse than the Mets’ Bobby Bonilla deferred contract that is more renown."

  • 2024
    "27, 1984 The Cubs then took two of three from the rival Cardinals (including a come-from-behind walkoff win the last day of the regular season, depriving Bruce Sutter of what would then have been a record-breaking save) in preparation for the NLCS against the Padres, which was to begin Tuesday, Oct."

  • 2023
    "1987- Goose Gossage earns his 287th career save in a 7-4 win over Atlanta and moves into second place on the all-time list passing Bruce Sutter."

  • 2022
    "Hall of Fame pitcher Bruce Sutter dies at 69"

  • 2017
    "Something interesting happened a few years ago when Bruce Sutter was on the Hall of Fame ballot."

  • 2016
    "Rollie Fingers (second year of eligibility), Goose Gossage (ninth year) and Bruce Sutter (13th year) all had to wait."
