I'm a #baseball fan. I love looking at #baseballcards. Took a few years off from collecting but starting to get back into it a little. Who do I need to follow on here?
Not looking for card sellers. Mainly just baseball pictures and conversation. Bonus for #Reds and #1980s content.

Random card from my collection: 1985 Topps - 1985 All-Star Set Collector's Edition (Glossy Send-Ins) #11 - Leon Durham - Chicago Cubs
Durham was a Cincinnati Red for a few minutes in 1988. Didn't realize until this moment that he was an All-Star in ChiTown. #CardSky

Every once in a while I look for photos of Frank Viola with the Cincinnati Reds. He only pitched three games for them in 1995. I think I found a b&w shot once, but can't even come up with that one now.

Next thing you knowing, people are going to pretend that Pete Rose never played for the Kansas City Royals.

I tried using AI to colorize this old b&w photo of Johnny Bench playing outfield. Apparently, in the AI-verse, Bench played for the Milwaukee Brewers. Then I tried to correct it to a Reds uniform, Mr. AI put him on the Indians in the 1970s with those gorgeous fully-red uniforms!

I posted this late Sunday night; didn't get much traction. Maybe because I forgot the #CardSky tag? Or maybe because I'm the only one who was bombarded with Atlee Hammaker cards in junk wax packs as a kid? Anyway, here's a Diamond Kings fun card of the guy who was in EVERY pack of cards in the 80s.

Why wasn’t this a real card? Atlee Hammaker was NEVER a Donruss Diamond King? How could this be???

Interesting that 3 of the 4 were Dodgers.
Today in 2014, Clayton Kershaw is named NL MVP, becoming the 1st Dodger to win the award since Kirk Gibson in 1988. Kershaw is just the 4th NL pitcher to win both the MVP and CY Awards in the same season, joining Don Newcombe (1956), Sandy Koufax (1963), and Bob Gibson (1968).

You know they could have cropped that photo tighter so some random Giants player wasn't on Hank's card. Such disrespect. #CardSky
The 2022 Stadium Club Chrome set is one of my favorite modern baseball sets. Just look at this beauty!

Good Monday morning folks! Time to Smorgasbord once again and time for more suggestions!
Below in a really awful photo are the non-HOF players we have already discussed in previous rounds. Please offer up your suggestions of players NOT in the HOF you would like us to re-examine #HOF #Baseball
