I remember back when you could tell it’s a rookie card if his major league team line is only listed in the back once. I thought this was a rookie card but when I checked on eBay there was a Future Stars from 1987 available. My luck 😜

I’m realizing that my peak collecting years were when the “steroid allegations generation” players were rookies

Here’s a link to all Rafael Palmeiro cards on eBay to get an idea of their potential value : https://ebay.us/Exr3Le

Does anyone remember when Juan Gone was so pissed at a scorekeeper for ruling one of his hits an error instead of a single?

It was early May 1998 (Yanks at Rangers)

Gonzalez hit a line drive that scored two runs after deflecting off Knoblauch's glove. The official scorer ruled it an error, not a hit or RBIs. Gonzalez responded with a tantrum, throwing towels and glaring at the press box-pointing at his eye and towards the scorekeeper (Kurt Iverson). He later hit a three-run homer and pointed at the press box while rounding the bases, continuing his outburst throughout the game.
