Custom Bubbles from Gavin

 Once again Gavin, Baseball Card Breakdown, has graced me with a few of his Custom Bubble cards.

These have become my favorite cards and I appreciate them every time I'm lucky enough to receive a few.

Thanks again Gavin

Flying on the Diamond

 Another of my mini collections are players laying out for a catch.  As you'll see, the catches are

from many angles and directions.

For Gavin

Baseball and other Sport All Stars

 Over the years there have been many players that have played and excelled at multiple sports.

Jim Thorpe, Bo Jackson, Dave Debusschere, Dave Winfield, Kenny Lofton and many others.

Here are a few baseball cards of All Stars from other Sports and occupations.

Football.  Russell Wilson had played in the NFL for 6 seasons when this card was issued.

Another Football Star Quarterback.

A few Basketball stars.

Larry Bird played a doubleheader for Indiana State before he was drafted by the Celtics.

The baseball coach at Indiana State dared him to play and Bird responded by 

going 1 - 2 with two RBI's.  He also recorded 9 Putouts at 1st base.  His .500 average

is in the school's record books as one of the highest ever.

Probably the most famous to play two sports.  

Hockey HOF'er.

Adam Oates, another Hockey HOF'er.

The Rifleman was signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers and also played for the Cubs in the majors

and in the minors for the Yankees.  Conners also played for the Boston Celtics and is know for being the first player in the NBA to shatter a glass backboard.  

A lot of actors have tried their hands at baseball.  Will Ferrell payed for 10 teams

during spring training in 2015 all on the same day.  Garth Brooks, Billy Crystal, Kevin Costner 

and Tom Selleck were also among those that played in spring training.
