Honus Wagner

Honus Wagner Johannes Peter ” Honus ” Wagner, also known as Hans Wagner, was a German-American baseball shortstop who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates for 21 seasons from 1897 to 1917. In 1911, Wagner won his eighth (and final) batting title, setting a record in the National League that still stands today and has only been matched once, in 1997, by Tony Gwynn. He also led the league in slugging…

Auction of Zuckerberg’s Little League Card a Home Run The top bid at auction of a baseball card didn't exactly approach the record $12 million that a Mickey Mantle card drew in August. But still... Are you a baseball card collector who can’t afford to shell out $12 million for a Mickey Mantle card or $7 million for a Honus Wagner card? How about $105,000 for a Mark Zuckerberg Little League card, complete with the Meta Platforms (META) - Get Meta Platforms Inc. Report chief executive’s autograph? That’s how much the card was auctioned for on Wednesday, MarketWatch reported. With a buyer’s premium of 15%, the sale totaled $120,750. The back of the card indicates that it dates from 1992, when Zuckerberg was 8 years old, and that the name of his team was the Red Robins. His hometown was listed as Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., and his experience as one year played—presumably that refers to his Little League experience. Zuckerberg’s height was listed at 3’ 11’’ and his weight as https://fancyhints.com/auction-of-zuckerbergs-little-league-card-a-home-run/?utm_source=tumblr&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ReviveOldPost

LeBron James Triple Logoman Card Hits Auction

A one-of-a-kind Lebron James Triple Logoman card which many experts consider the most coveted modern collectible in the world is hitting the auction block and we're told it could sell for OVER $6 MILLION! the card, which features 3 NBA logo patches from jerseys worn by the King, is expected to rival the all-time record of $6.6 million which a wealthy collector paid for a Honus Wagner T-206 card when it hits the block at Goldin Auctions on June 8. Just the fact the Bron card is being talked about in the same breath as the T-206 Wagner considered the "Holy Grail" of trading cards is pretty incredible, but to think the Logoman could go for nearly $7 million is insane. The LeBron James Triple Logoman card is the undisputed holy grail of modern cards,” said Goldin founder Ken Goldin. The three NBA logo patches on the front of the card come from a Cavaliers, Heat, and Lakers jersey each of James' three teams. Triple Logoman cards are super rare only five were made by Panini as part of their 2020-21 "Flawless" collection. Only one LeBron TL exists. The back of the card features a small certificate of authenticity and details LBJ's four NBA titles.

On This Day in Baseball History May 5, 1978: At Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Reds third baseman Pete Rose singles off of Montreal Expos starter Steve Rogers in the fifth inning to become the 13th member of the 3,000 hits club. Rose was the first Cincinnati Reds player to reach the 3,000 hits plateau.

At the time of Rose’s accomplishment, the following players had made up the 3,000 hit club with date of accomplishment:

Cap Anson (date unknown)

Honus Wagner (June 9, 1914)

Nap Lajoie (September 27, 1914 of first game of doubleheader)

Ty Cobb (August 19, 1921 second game of doubleheader)

Tris Speaker (May 17, 1925)

Eddie Collins (June 3, 1925)

Paul Waner (June 19, 1942)

Stan Musial (May 13, 1958)

Hank Aaron (May 17, 1970 second game of doubleheader)

Willie Mays (July 18, 1970)

Roberto Clemente (September 30, 1972)

Al Kaline (September 24, 1974)

Rose would pass Stan Musial for the National League hits record of 3,630 hits on August 10, 1981 and would pass Ty Cobb’s major league record of 4,191 hits on September 11, 1985. Rose would finish his career in 1986 with 4,256 hits.

Baseball Memories

The Story of Baseball in 100 Pictures Book Review

The Story of Baseball in 100 Pictures is a very good book for any baseball enthusiast that loves sports history. This book will also bring back memories of your first baseball game. I went to see my first Texas Rangers baseball game in 2009 with my Dad when I was 26 years old and we both ate a hotdog for a dollar. The best time to go to a Texas Rangers baseball game is when they have dollar hotdog Wednesdays. The Texas Rangers lost to the New York Yankees though, but I got to see Texas Rangers Shortstop, Elvis Andrus play that evening.

The chapters in the book are based on defining moments of what made baseball so very special. 1869 to 1918 is listed as the Beginnings Chapter. I did not know that the Cincinnati Red Stockings were the first professional baseball team in 1869. Kostya Kennedy appreciates the game of baseball and loves the history like myself. He states a lot of facts for readers to tell their family and friends. Honus Wagner who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates became the first baseball player to bat 222 in the postseason after leading both leagues with a .355 batting average. Detroit Tigers, Ty Cobb is in a very fascinating and surreal picture that shows him stealing third base at a baseball game in New York City on July 23, 1910. 1920 to 1947: From Ruth to Robinson describes how Shoeless Joe Jackson and seven of his teammates were accused of conspiring to throw the 1919 World Series to Cincinnati. Shoeless Joe Jackson was on the ineligible list to be on the Baseball Hall of Fame. The article about Shoeless Joe Jackson reminded me about the “Eight Men Out” movie starring John Cusack who played Shoeless Joe Jackson which is a very good baseball movie.

Readers will enjoy a picture of Baseball legend Babe Ruth who made 60 home runs in 1927. Kostya Kennedy does a good job of naming the greatest men who ever played the game of baseball. Yankee slugger, Lou Gehrig had to end his baseball career because he contracted amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, later Lou Gehrig’s disease. Seeing a picture of him lets the reader sympathize with his character because he did not live long after he contracted the disease. The article about Lou Gehrig will make a person interested in watching “The Pride of the Yankees which is a biography of Lou Gehrig. Many people might not know, but 1948 was the year when women started playing baseball and they formed their own professional baseball teams which lasted for twelve years.

Jackie Robinson broke Baseball’s color barrier because he was the first African American to play professional baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Various readers might be able to remember seeing Jackie Robinson stealing home because he did so many times. Any reader that sees a picture of Roger Maris might realize like me that he had the personality to break Babe Ruth’s record of sixty home runs.

I love how the author wrote an article about the Astrodome opening in 1965 and was one of baseball’s first enclosed and air-conditioned stadiums for the Houston Astros. Just looking looking at the picture makes a person realize that Houston had a change in mind because it was very unique in design. I remember going to my first Houston Astros baseball game to see the Atlanta Braves in 1997. I got to see Ryan Klesko hit a home run and a sports crazed girl holding up a sign saying: “ Take me to the Senior prom Ryan.” The only disappointment I had during that game was not being able to get an autograph from a Houston Astros player.

One of my favorite pictures in the book besides the one with Ty Cobb is New York Yankees, Mickey Mantle throwing his helmet when he grounded out. It must have been very frustrating for him to not make a home run which is a picture that is very unusual because most of his baseball pictures shows him smiling. That is one thing thing in the book that I did not know about Mickey Mantle , but highly recommended for the reader to look at. Mickey Mantle was my Dad’s favorite baseball player. 1969 to 1993 had Pete Rose leading the way until he was banned for playing baseball because of gambling.

One of the most defining moments in Baseball history was when Atlanta Braves, Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s record of 714 home runs on April 8, 1974. The Baby Boomer generation will probably remember what they were doing when Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s record. The author still keeps the reader engaged with New York Yankees, Reggie Jackson being known as “Mr October” for hitting three home runs in a World Series and Houston Astros, Nolan Ryan for being known as a no-hitter pitcher in baseball. Many Texas Rangers fans might remember seeing Chicago White Sox, Robin Ventura charging the pitchers mound after Nolan Ryan hit him with a pitch on August 5, 1993.

1994 to 2018. Any Atlanta Braves fan would be impressed with the Arms of Atlanta article that mentioned about the Braves pitchers and how they dominated baseball in the late nineties. The only thing I did not like about the book was it did not show a picture of Atlanta Braves, David Justice since his home run helped the Atlanta Braves win the World Series. That was my favorite game of all time. Another good article has to do with the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series on November 2, 2016 because it has been since 1908 since they won a World Series. This book is very delightful because any baseball fan will find one article more appealing and suitable just for them. This is an adult nonfiction book, but teenagers can read it and also remember the first baseball game they went to see with their Dad just like I did. The game of baseball will always have a lot of memories and will continue to do so in the upcoming 2019 season.
