Hey All, there are just three weeks left in the regular season. It's crunch time in the big leagues. It's crunch time in the Longball League too. Let's look at the standings.
Still atop first place with the pennant in sight are the San Pedro Sea Monkeys. Albert Pujols is having an MVP season. His heroic are what keeps the Monkeys on top.
Just 16 points out are the SoCal Capuchins. They shaved six points off the Monkeys lead this week behind the home run heroics of Adam Dunn. He's worth the price of a Nationals ticket alone.
It may be by only two points, but the Keen Koalas are in third place. If they can hold on to that spot, they will be the marsupials will be the feel good story of the season.
Falling back into fourth place are the Vacuous Vipers. The snakes just haven't got the production from their hitters down the stretch.
The Invisible Hands are down in fifth place and the Sierra Vista Coachwhips are still in last place. They both are just waiting until next year.
Baseball Card of the Week: I thought this week I'd showcase one of the cards that make the card collecting hobby what it is. So here's a look at the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle. Card #311 is quite arguably the most recognizable card in the hobby.
Trivia: Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews of the Braves hold a rather unique baseball record. They both homered in the same game 75 times. That's more than any other pair of teammates in baseball history.
Until next week folks, keep hittin' em where they ain't.
