Hitting Eighth

and starting at catcher

1991 Donruss
No. 381 Joe Oliver


Here we have Joe hitting to right for a fly out. Isn't that what us catcher's named Joe do? We have our moments. 6 RBI in a game against the Cubs for Mr. Oliver in 1990. 6 RBI against Hancock Bank in 1985 for me. 3 Doubles and 2 RBI against the A's in the 1990 World Series. Too bad he was never as good at second base as I was. Not that I am bragging. He made on the field in the Majors. I buy tickets to stand next to the field.

Reds and White Sox trade Update

A trade was recently triggered between the Reds (fan) and White Sox (fan).

Reds get Bip Roberts, Ron Gant, Adam Dunn, Brandon Phillips, Eric Davis, Joe Oliver, Kyle Lotzkar and Austin Kearns in exchange for over hyped White Sox players Frank Thomas, Magglio Ordonez, Carlos Lee, Paul Konerko and 12 players to be named later.

Steve from White Sox Cards sent me this fine batch of cards. I got the cards in the mail on Saturday and am glad I did. I did not look like this when I opened my mailbox. So without further ado I present to you:
