4 Corners

It was nice to get home Sunday evening after a long and hot weekend in St. Louis.  Even though the Cardinals lost both games we went to, we still had a great time.  Once I unpacked and took a much needed shower, I had a little spare time to opening Saturday's mail.  One package from TCDB member Ryans0625 contained a quartet of corner infielders from the past, present, and future.  

 

McGwire is the first baseman from the past.  This 1999 Ultimate Victory is one of 30 McGwire cards in the set.  Upper Deck loved their McGwire cards.

Goldy is the current first baseman.  He has heated up along with the weather.  Last week he homered in 6 straight games on his way to NL Player of the Week honors.  Glad I could knock off a 2019 Heritage SP with this card.

Two players of the future are both third basemen right now.  Montero is in Double A, Gorman in High A.  I am guessing Montero will be moved to first base or traded.  He won Midwest League MVP honors last year, but has been hurt a large portion of 2019.  Gorman has better range at third, hits for more power, but does not have as good of a batting average.  The Cardinals will give him every chance to be the starting third baseman in a couple of years.
