More pick-pocket goodies

 Julie of A Cracked Bat has been giving away cards since before it was popular, with her Pick Pocket program. She always has a fun lot of cards to choose from. Here's what I picked this time:

Starting off with this great Japanese card of a young Masahiro Tanaka. Why does he have a heart on his hip? Too bad the Yankees wasted his five shutout innings yesterday. The Yankees haven't won in ten days, and the season might be starting to slip away, but happily Tanaka has shown no ill effects from his scary spring training injury.

Here's some reminders of happier days for the Yankees, with World Series champions from three different eras, plus good old (remodeled) Yankee Stadium.

It wouldn't be pick pockets without funny photos and shiny cards . . .

Or old TCMA, especially vintage minor leagues! Julie knows I love these. Glenn Gregson is now 70 years old but still active in pro ball, currently coaching for the Red Sox.
