“If you don’t stop and look around every once in while, you could miss it.”

Pulled this yesterday and come to find he was just traded 😄 (not that I’m a Brewers fan). The turnover in baseball can be wild.

A necessary, but sometimes unfortunate part of the game. Hate to see talented, homegrown prospects go. Good luck in Milwaukee, boys 🍻

1952 Topps #262, Virgil Trucks ⭐
1952 Topps #160, Owen Friend ⭐
On December 4, 1952,the Detroit Tigers traded Virgil Trucks, who tossed two no-hitters during the year, along with 2 others to the St. Louis Browns for 2B Owen Friend and 2 others.

This one stings a bit. Hate to see a homegrown fan-favorite like Nimmo get traded (thankfully to the AL). His smile was infectious, he played hard and developed into a real leader for this team. I wish him all the best moving forward.

1971 Topps #650, Rich Allen ⭐ High Number
On October 5, 1970, the St. Louis Cardinals traded top-tier slugger and future Hall of Famer Richie Allen to the LA Dodgers.
