I apologize if you've seen all this nonsense on Twitter already today. It's just that I spent all of my free time today looking up baseball cards and I don't have any time left to come up with anything new. Besides, it's not every day that you end up on Yahoo! Sports. A few weeks ago, when 2013 Topps cards first hit shelves, several people in the hobby noticed that Pete Rose's name was expunged from the backs of its cards. Topps was doing this "Career Chase" thing and mentioning how far away individual players were from all-time records on the back of each card. Topps mentioned the name of the record-holder in all cases, except when it was talking about the all-time hit leader. Like so: No mention of Rose. But you probably know all this already because even if you don't read all of the hobby publications, you do read my blog, right? And I mentioned the same thing a couple of weeks ago . Well, someone with a big powerful media presence...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
