Thanks to collector Bob from NY I get to show off his uncut sheet of 1949 Bowman Baseball cards. It has 4 rows of 9 cards each and features, prominently in the center, Jackie Robinson. This is his Bowman rookie card. The consistent red backgrounds on the sheet give it a art deco look.

Bored of the rings
So since we should forgive Juan Pierre his shortcomings due to a ring in a box, shouldn’t we trust Joe Torre’s brand of baseball instead of the Angels’?After all, Torre has won four rings as a manager.I probably shouldn’t try to apply logic to this.
