Eeeeed-gaaaaar!  1992

Edgar Martínez, the greatest designated hitter to ever play the game. A lousy baserunner, though, and passable third baseman when he had to take the field to be in the batting lineup, but he is a freaking legend in the PNW.

Best remembered for helping the international rookies take their geoducks to Puyallup.

The man behind Mario himself essentially retired from voicing Mario in official games last week. I'm glad we got to hear him for as long as we have, and that he was able to get a chance to step back and admire his work. I've always known Charles Martinet's voice as THE Mario voice, but his voice acting went well beyond one role. While I'm curious how Super Mario Wonder will go, I look forward to the new directions all around.

Topps releases a set every year [since 2006] called "Allen and Ginter". It's essentially their brand for both baseball stars/legends as well as other pop culture stars (or other curiosities) at the time of release. It also shares the same name as a tobacco brand from the late 1800s, who basically was responsible for the first trading cards released (but as inserts/ads to the tobacco, and was usually stuff like animals, nature, or locations rather than people in the early years).

This particular card is from the 2019 set, and one of the cool things Topps does is they'll get pieces from a shirt (or other artifact the subject wore/used) and put it into the card itself. "Game used jerseys" are one of the more common additions to cards - being a sports card company for the mostpart - so it was so cool to have something that, even if it could've been a brief moment of wearing a shirt for a day, was a part of his life. There was an autograph card from the same year that I hope to get one of these days, but I'm keeping my eyes out for one to be reasonably available.

Keep at the fun, Charles, and we'll be rooting and "Wahoo!"ing for you along the way all the same!

So I went baseball card shopping and found the greatest baseball card pose of all time

Why doesn't everyone pose like this on their baseball cards

I've always loved this 1994 Upper Deck set. The images are crisp and the colors just pop on the front and back. And you can't go wrong with Kenny Lofton.
