Last time it was a big 8-0 shutout for gum. Will cake get on the board here?
Two photos from the same shoot. Do you prefer bat or no bat?
Mark Belanger is considered one of the greatest fielding shortstops of all time. He was Baltimore’s regular shortstop from 1968 to 1980, replacing Hall-of-Famer Luis Aparacio and replaced by Hall-of-Famer Cal Ripken. He was an eight-time Gold Glove winner and was a regular in the lineup despite being a very weak hitter. In only three of the 13 seasons he was Baltimore’s regular shortstop did he hit as high as .230, and he had only 389 RBI in over 2000 major league games. After his career he had a leadership role in the MLB Players Association, supporting Donald Fehr. A notorious chain-smoker, he died of lung cancer in 1998.

ReplyDeleteEdge to Topps.
ReplyDeleteDon't love the expression on his face on the Hostess so I'll vote gum.
ReplyDeleteTough call. I'll go with gum, but I wish that Topps would have scrolled up just a little to include the entire bat. That would have made it a no-brainer for me.
