Post #200--A Special Play at the Plate

200

That's a nice round number. I didn't see myself doing that many when I started, at least not this soon. I think about 193 of those are trade posts.

Like a lot of you, I'd like to put up something really great for a number like this one. Instead, I'm going to post this week's play at the plate card on Saturday instead of Sunday. I don't know the history behind this image although it may be the play described on the back. I pulled this in a pack of cards last week.






It's a gorgeous 2007 UD Masterpieces Deep Blue Linen Ty Cobb #71/75. The back of the card says, "...Cobb once reached first, stole second, stole third and then stole home on consecutive attempts in a 1907 contest." Sometimes you just have to enjoy the card.
If you're reading this, thanks for coming along for the ride.
