  • • The Twins Are Turning Byron Buxton Into Mid-90s Kirby Puckett?
    Byron Buxton’s career hasn’t gone as expected since being selected, but he’s become one of the Minnesota Twins’ most interesting players during the 2026 season. The latest chapter came on Saturday night when the Twins had only two hits on the evening. However, both came off Buxton’s bat, including in a 2-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians....2026

      A Pirates account on Bluesky recently featured the Pirates player for which he had the most cards and then put out the question (I'm paraphrasing), "which Pirates player has the most cards in your collection?" My favorite team isn't the Pirates, so I could only guess. My first thought was Dave Parker, but I knew that wasn't right because he also appeared with the Reds on many junk...2026

    Editors Note: This behemoth of a post is actually a bunch of posts in one. "Self-indulgent" is a word that comes to mind. It's probably not worth your time to read it, so by all means, feel free to ignore this post. It was mostly written years back, so much of what I say is outdated here in 2025. A lot of it is me hoping to pull a card that-- whoops-- turns out doesn't even exist. I guess I s...2026

     I admit I might have purchased this card for too much money the other day. It's what sellers are counting on from fans of the team that wins the World Series. And when the card shows a photo of a play you don't ever remember seeing before -- or at least don't remember seeing on a do-or-die play in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game 7 of the World Series -- you buy it. It's not going t...2025
