With Paul Skenes being on the mound later today and having the season he is, it got me thinking about the most intimidating pitchers of all-time and it seems these are the four that are most frequently mentioned. Anyone you’d swap?

Yesterday was a noteworthy mail day as I received the final card I needed to complete the Michael Jordan Star '85 "set". I'd like to eventually get all the Star '86 cards, but that hunt will have to continue another time. I'm sure they'll be cheaper and easier to find when I do... ;-)

I realize there are people out there who try to scam dealers, go back on their purchase, don't pay, etc. I'd like to believe that the majority of people are honest with their situations however, and unfortunately "force majeure" events do occur. I had a recent transaction where I was willing to split the difference between the shipping insured amount and the item's value with the dealer, but they came out of the gate so aggressive and accusatory that I decided to not bother offering and instead it became A Thing.

My ask to everyone on both sides of a transaction gone sideways: Take a beat and understand the entire situation before losing your proverbial sh*t...

Now let’s keep up the pace you had during your rehab assignment and help the Royals snag a Wild Card spot!
