Card Detective #1

Card Detective #1 1993 Topps Stadium Club #157 What we know: 1. This is from the 1992 season. 2. This is Juan Bell making a play. 3. This is a home game for Philadelphia vs. Cincinnati. 4. Player sliding into the base is #10. What we looked up: 1. Juan Bell only played one season in Philadelphia (1992). 2. Bell only played in 46 games via Baseball Reference. 3. Of his 46 games played, only 3 were at home vs. the Reds. 4. Those dates were a doubleheader on Aug. 18 and a single game on Aug. 19. 5. In those three games, Bell played shortstop for the entire game. 6. In 1992, #10 for Cincinnati was Bip Roberts. 7. So it looks like we are looking for an attempted double play with Bip Roberts sliding into 2nd Base. 8. In the Aug. 18 game one of the double header, the Phillies 2nd Baseman for the entire game was Mariano Duncan. So my guess is that looks like him in the play.  So most likely he fed the ball to Bell.  In this game, Roberts is 1-5.  He got a single in the top of the 3rd and advan

Rest in Peace Eddie Robinson

Born: December 15th, 1920 - Paris, Texas Died: October 4th, 2021 (Age 100) - Bastrop, Texas Positions: First Baseman Batted: Left Threw Right Teams: Cleveland Indians (1942, 1946-1948, 1957) Washington Senators (1949-1950) Chicago White Sox (1950-1952) Philadelphia Athletics, Kansas City Athletics (1953, 1956) New York Yankees (1954-1956) Detroit Tigers (1957) Baltimore Orioles (1957) Awards: 4x All Star (1949, 1951-1953) World Series Champion (1948) Key Notes: First baseball Eddie Robinson was a four-time All-Star during 13 seasons in the majors. He put the ball in play and struck out infrequently, which was unusual for a minor slugger, and hit for a fairly high average until the latter part of his career.  Robinson made his pro debut with the Valdosta Trojans in 1939. The following summer, he hit .323 with 21 triples and 8 homers for Valdosta. After hitting .306 with 27 home runs for the Baltimore Orioles of the International League in 1942, he made his big league debut with the Clev

1968 World Series Replay Cont. (5th Inning)

Image
I am replaying the 1968 World Series using the 1968 Topps Game Baseball Cards to produce the results of the game.  In my second post, I played the 3th and 4th innings in which the Tigers bounced back with an unlikely homer by Denny McLain with Don Wert on first base. Both McLain and Bob Gibson have been pitching well but maybe not as well as the real game.  Gibson had 17 strikeouts that October day and has just one to this point.  In the real game, the Tigers pinch hit for McLain in the 6th inning and I will try to simulate that change if it makes sense. So we pick the game up in the top of the 5th inning with the Tigers up to bat. 1968 World Series Game 1 Don Wert singles in Game 1 of the 1968 World Series October 2, 1968 Detroit Tigers at St. Louis Cardinals Pitching Matchup 1969 Topps #150 1969 Topps #200 Top of the 5th Inning Tigers 2 Cardinals 1 Batting 8th Playing 3rd Base 1969 Topps #443 1968 Topps Game
