Counterintuitive optimism about the labor negotiations, does baseball have an opioid problem?, MLB attacks mLers, the dean of every team, and the best Topps card of 1982
I easily would've picked the Nolan Ryan over Gaylord Perry out of the NL West, even if Nolan's in spring training. Perry, to me, looks like he's in an aquarium, with all that blue and green on the card making it look tinted. And as you said, a baseball card shot of Ryan in that tequila sunrise jersey is a rarity and so enjoyable to look at. I can't argue with Winfield over Ryan for the AL championship, but give me the sunshine on the Ryan card over the blues of the Perry.
