A few cards from my collection. If Ive estimated correctly I have over 60k cards that go back to the very early eighties. A few randos that are older.

I recently began selling my collectibles via eBay. Check out what I have up for auction. And all the cards up above will be listed before Tuesday morning. ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

During the Rays 8-1 win over the Pirates on Wednesday, May 4, 2023, Rays SS Wander Franco added a little razzmatazz to a routine grounder. It was the top of the 7th and after Franco snagged the catch, he flipped the ball up then caught it before throwing out the runner at first. The runner was Pirates Bryan Reynolds, and when asked after the game about Wander's extraness, Bryan said, "I saw it. It didn't impress me."

That play caused a little buzz on social media with some saying the play was disrespectful while others felt it was just an entertaining part of the game. What say you?

went to the rays-guardians game last night and had the time of my Life. i’ve been a lifelong rays fan and i’ve never seen the trop that packed (sell-out!). i really thought they were gonna lose, since the bullpen was not really killing it and the offense wasn’t materializing as much as they sometimes do, and people started leaving (as usual) before the 9th to beat traffic, but that last inning was electric. down 5-3, no outs, josh lowe starts a rally with a single and is sent home by yandy diaz doubling (almost a homer). 5-4, one out (bethancourt grounded out), with the tying run on second, wander franco comes up to bat. through the whole game, clips of his walk-off homer from the night before have been playing, and people start standing, anticipating a similar result. heartbreak; he strikes out. 5-4, two outs, and brandon lowe is up (annoyingly, to cheers of “let’s go brandon”). a wild pitch lets yandy take third, and b lowe singles, sending him home. 5-5, two outs, winning run is on first, and randy arozarena, the beloved of rays fans and team mexico fans alike (not mutually exclusive), is up to bat. my hopes are high, my expectations are low. he hasn’t been the same since the home run derby/asg. everyone is standing now, and chants of “RAN-DY! RAN-DY! RAN-DY!” are filling the stadium. someone next to me comments “no pressure, right?”, and i gleefully inform her that randy is best under pressure; if the rays could somehow manage to convince him that every game was the most important of his career, we’d go 162-0. brandon lowe steals second. the count is rising. everyone is yelling. then, boom; randy hits it into center field. the screaming gets significantly louder; it looks like it’ll be caught. but it isn’t!! the outfielder drops it, and brandon lowe scores. rays win, 5-6, the BWAHHHHHH goes off, and randy is mobbed at first. incredible ending. i’m going to be riding that high for Days.
