    Fun fact about Eddie Mathews: he's the only player in Braves history to play in Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta.

    Damn, I feel like Sheldon Cooper with the "fun fact" lol.
    I thought Aaron did too?
    Nevermind.  I forgot Aaron started in 54 and Matthews in 52!

    The only reason I knew that was from taking a tour of Turner Field in the off-season a few years ago.

    That's interesting about Mathews.  Such a great stretch of HR seasons between he and Aaron.

    My next card is an easier one.  Al Rosen 1954 Topps.  Should be able to go for a higher grade.

    I'm looking for 3 cards right now all in PSA 10.  2013&2014 Topps Chrome refractor Mike Trout and a 2003 Topps Derek Jeter.  Those 3 would complete my career runs of those players.

    little late but congrats to Pujols on #700. I'm surprised he got there with like a week or two left.

    Very true. Right now, I think Soto and Vlad Jr have the best chance to reach 700. I wouldn't bet on either though.

    I was looking to see how close Mark McGwire. I knew it was in the 500s. There some injuries plus the lockout that made him not get over 600. I saw he was 2nd in the MVP voting the year he hit 70. And his numbers were better than Sosa's. Is it because the Cubs went to the playoffs and the Cardinals didn't or that Sosa was an outfielder?

    my guess would be because the Cubs made the playoffs and the Cards didn't. I don't think the position has too much to do with voting.

    Sometimes it does I think. Outfielders are treated better than first basemen. Mark should have won it that year.

    Pujols should come back to pass Aaron.

    No, he said he was retiring, let him retire.

    Arenado in his 2 years out of Colorado has still batted in 100RBIs and 30HR.  Good for him.
