More freebies from Johnny

The few of us bloggers who like getting free cards have been participating in the daily giveaways at Johnny's Trading Spot. I recently got my third freebee envelope from Johnny.

The Archive Mattingly is the reason I put in for this group. I already had the Donruss Mattingly. I really like the retro-futuristic Topps Fire design on the Max Scherzer card. It looks like it came out of Transformers. That Rogers Hornsby card is really cool - imagine if he was actually in the '53 set, that would be a popular, expensive card. Those two Conlon cards that say "Great Stories" are really just OK stories - Billy Herman played hard all the time, Goose Goslin once hit into four DPs in a game. That's basically it.

    Thinking the Josh Gibson is my favorite of this bunch.

    I'm guessing "Marginally Entertaining Stories" just didn't fit in the banner.

    I'm sure that both of those guys had more interesting anecdotes that could've been told about them.

    Hitting into four double plays is pretty impressive. I was curious if the record stood the test of time and it does... although Joe Torre achieve the feat too in 1975.
