Roster Moves
S.V. Coachwhips dropped J. Bautista-TOR and picked up C. Davis- BAL

Here's how the first round of the playoffs looks...

LLDS #1 Oxford House Elves v. Tax Dodgers
LLDS #2 Tatooine Womp Rats v. Invisible Hands

The winners of these two series will meet in the Longball League World Series!!!!!!!!

Note: The Playoffs started on 9/1/2013.  If anyone wants to use their roster move for the first round, I'll make the move retroactive to 9/1/2013.


Cool Baseball Card of the Week: 1970 Topps # 197- N.L. Playoffs Game #3

With the playoffs at hand. I thought I'd talk about playoff baseball cards. 1969 was the first season that baseball had split into divisions, so that required a playoff round to get to the World Series after winning your division.  Those playoffs were chronicled by Topps in the 1970 set. This card is classic.


It chronicles how Nolan Ryan CAME OUT OF THE BULLPEN to give the Mets a 3-0 sweep over the Braves and a trip to the World Series.  Yes, The Express was a reliever/ spot starter for the 1969 Miracle Mets when he was a 22-year old.


Until next week folks, remember that the playoffs are here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
