But checking my blog's archives, I'm reminded it was actually first made for Matt of Red Cardboard.

Looking at it from afar, it looks like he was hurt by his own teammate, Carl Yastrzemski, getting a retirement gift in the form of one final all-star nod, as well as a few veteran Angels being given retroactive credit for the team's division title in 1982 (Boone, R.Jackson). At 3B, Brett and DeCinces merited their spots and were better known at that point, so it feels like a numbers crunch more than anything.<br /><br />Fun fact: the 1983 ASG was Robin Yount's last despite the fact that he played 10 more full seasons that included a second MVP in 1989, a 118 OPS+ over 6330 PA, and tallied 32.6 of his career 77.3 WAR.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14229291739813356346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084101267740946056.post-15483029954505900892019-08-21T23:29:45.305-05:002019-08-21T23:29:45.305-05:00I think I’d agree that the Ray Brown is the nicest...I think I’d agree that the Ray Brown is the nicest card of the page.
