Just a short post today highlighting an unexpected pwe from Trading Bases member Pete P. Pete has been busy send out quite a few of these mailings to various members. Always nice to get something when you are not expecting anything.
Brock and Gibson will be forever thought of together by Cardinals fans. Both were members of the great 1960s World Series teams, elected to the Hall of Fame, and passed away the same year. I am surprised Topps has not made another Super Teams set other than the 2002 issue. There are so many other great teams to highlight other than the 11 teams used that year.
2 more Cardinals greats share this 2008 UD Heroes Black card, the final one I needed for my team set. Most people know Musial's nickname was "The Man". Besides "The Machine", Pujols was also called " El Hombre", Spanish for The Man. Pujols returned to St. Louis this week as a member of the Dodgers and hit a home run in his first at bat. A lot of people are hoping he will return next year if the National League adopts the DH rule. I would not be opposed to it, but it should not be for very much money or cost Goldschmidt much playing time.
Good looking Gibson card.
