Well today I want to introduce one of those ideas.....and see where it goes.
I am hoping that Phun Cards can be our version of the
Enough blabbing - Here is the first ever Phun Card
2000 Topps Stadium Club #148 Pat Burrell
yeah yeah I know, gotta get the scanner hooked up. not a priority - I have all this house stuff to do and all these important twitter feeds to follow. And it's a shame because this is a pretty decent looking action shot from way back at the turn of the century. Stadium Club has always had banging photography - in 2008 I think it may have come at the expense of Topps Flagship product which had horrid photos.
This card features a young Pat Burrell at the other end of his career which appears to be coming to an end. We also have a pretty decent guest star on the card in the Person of Andruw Jones. Amazingly Jones had already been in the league 4 years and will likely bookend Burrell's career by playing for the Yankees this season.
Phungo Challenge
It is a Friday and you read this far because you really don't feel like working so here is your Phungo Phriday Challenge ....
I have always wanted to do this - Ok all you Baseball-Reference junkies - you know where we are going here: What day was this game played?
Assuming Jones is out at first, and that it was a game played in 2000, it should be June 19th.
ReplyDeleteNot to comment on the game but the set. I an really starting to admire greatly the early 2000 sets of Stadium Club, Gold Label, and Topps Finest and Topps HD.
