The All Cooking Team

Any of my readers listen to baseball podcasts?

 

One of my favorite sports writers, the legendary Tim Kurkijan does a podcast with his son Jeff called  "Is This a Great Game or What?" Kurkijan always has great stories about the game, and is a wealth of knowledge.

 

One of the fun things they occasionally do on their podcast is come up with a lineup based on players that fit a certain theme. I thought it would be a fun post to take one of those lineups and add some cardboard and commentary to it.

 

Tim and Jeff's "All Cooking Team" is filled with some humorous homophones of both well and lesser known players. The rule is they can't use the same surname more than once unless it is spelled differently. Here's who they came up with:

 

Catcher -  Eric Fryer

2011 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects
#36 Eric Fryer (RC)

 

 Fryer played 7 seasons in the MLB. He is one of those rare players that switched teams during a series where both teams were playing each other. All he had to do was walk across the field to the opposite dugout and meet his new team!

 

1st Baseman -  Seth Brown

2024 Topps #79 Seth Brown

 

Brown is one of a surprising number of current players to make this list. He signed a minor league contract with the Yankees last month.

 

2nd Baseman -  Eduoard Julien

2023 Topps Heritage #589 Edouard Julien (RC)

 

Julien is with the Rockies now. He'll be suiting up for Team Canada in this year's World Baseball Classic.

 

Shortstop -  Jeff Frye

1997 Donruss #241 Jeff Frye

 

Frye was a utility infielder who spent most of his career with the Rangers and Red Sox. He later became a sports agent.

 

3rd Baseman -  Cliff Cook

1962 Topps #41 Cliff Cook (RS)

 

Cook played 5 years for the Reds and Mets. He was once traded for Don Zimmer.

 

Outfielder - Buzz Boyle

1972 TCMA The 1930's
#94 Ralph Boyle

 

Boyle played for the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Dodgers. he later became the manager of the Muskegon Lassies of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in 1946.

  

Outfielder - Dusty Baker

1981 Topps #495 Dusty Baker

 

Well, if the All-Cooking team needed a manager, you couldn't ask for a better one than a 3-time Manager of the Year. He was pretty good in the outfield too!

 

Outfielder - Bake McBride

1982 Topps #745 Bake McBride

 

The only member of the team not chosen for his surname, McBride was a fast but often injured outfielder who won a World Series with Philadelphia in 1980. 

 

Designated Hitter - David Fry

2024 Topps Heritage
#654 David Fry (RC)

 

Fry fits the Kurkijans' rules since his last name is spelled differently than shortstop Jeff Frye. Fry was an All-Star in 2024, but last season was an injury filled one that ended prematurely after being hit in the face by a Tarik Skubal pitch.

 

Pitcher - Max Fried

2021 Topps #9 Max Fried

 

The All-Cooking Team has an ace with 3x All-Star Max Fried. Fried led the league in wins last year.

 

 

Pitcher - Austin Kitchen

2025 Topps Update
#US320 Austin Kitchen (RC)

 

Kitchen made his debut with the Marlins in 2024, pitching in 4 games. He's currently trying to make his way back to the big leagues with Seattle.

 

Pitcher - Steve Grilli

1977 Topps #506 Steve Grilli

 

Grilli's claim to fame is being the losing pitcher in the longest professional baseball game in history. He is also the only member of the All-Cooking team to open up his own bar after his MLB career concluded.

 

Pitcher - Tom Butters

1965 Topps #246 Tom Butters

 

Butters' Major League career may have not been noteworthy, but afterwards he became the athletic director of Duke University and is the man responsible for hiring the winningest basketball coach in Division I history, Mike Krzyzewski.

 

Pitcher - JP Sears

2025 Topps Heritage #647 JP Sears

 

Sears was traded from the Athletics to the Padres in the same deal that netted the Padres All-Star closer Mason Miller.  

 

Of course, after hearing this list, I had to think of some others who could have made the list.  Here's who I thought of:

 

Corbin Burnes

2022 Stadium Club #129 Corbin Burnes
    

 

Although burns are not something you want while cooking, having a former Cy Young winner would be a big boost to the All-Cooking team!

 

Woodie Fryman

1977 Topps #28 Woodie Fryman

 

 The team could also use a two time All-Star and Expos' Hall of Famer!

 

Pepper Martin

1992 Conlon Collection TSN
#637 Pepper Martin

 

 A member of the famous "Gashouse Gang", our team could use a little seasoning!

 

Jonah Tong

2025 Topps Now #628 Jonah Tong

 

I tried to think of a good kitchen utensil-style name, and settled on this young Mets pitcher with a bright future!

 

It's your turn now! Can you think of any other cooking-related players? 

 

1991 Upper Deck Pack War

Back in November I attended a local card show and on a whim grabbed 3 packs of 1991 Topps. It's been awhile since I did a pack war, so let's get ready to rumble!

 

 

For me, it's all about star power. I'll award 1 point for every All-Star Game nod a player gets, plus additional points for the major awards (MVP, CY, ROY, etc.) and 3 points for a Hall of Fame player. Add a point for every Red Sox card, and subtract a point for every Yankee that makes an appearance!

The last time I did this, I awarded extra points for every card I needed. I'm not going to do that this time because I have a sealed factory set. Technically, all of these are dupes except for potential inserts. Let's see what the packs have for us!

 

Pack #1

Nolan Ryan (Baseball Heroes: Nolan Ryan insert) - 11 points (HOF, 8x All-Star)
Chuck Cary -  -1 point (Yankee)

Tom Pagnozzi - 4 points (All-Star, 3x Gold Gloves)

Roberto Kelly - 1 point (Yankee, 2x All-Star)
Brett Butler -  1 point (All-Star)

Curt Schilling - 7 points (6x All-Star, WS MVP)

 

Paul Abbott, Jim Acker, Scott Bradley, Mike Gallego, Bernard Gilkey, Mark Guthrie, Scott Lusader, Rick Mahler, Derrick May, Chicago Cubs (Team Logo Hologram insert) - 0 points

 

Points Scored: 25 points

 

Speaking of needed inserts, pack one starts things off with a bang! That Nolan Ryan insert is sweet. I've always liked Upped Deck's Heroes inserts. We get multiple points from Curt Schilling and Tom Pagnozzi, and neither would have any points at the time this set came out (Pagnozzi would earn his 1st Gold Glove after the 1991 season, while Schilling was a late bloomer who made his first All-Star team in 1997!)

 

Pack #2

Boston Red Sox (Team Logo Hologram insert) - 1 point (Red Sox)

Jesse Orosco - 2 points (2x All-Star)

Darren Daulton - 4 points (3x All-Star, Silver Slugger)

Marty Barrett - 1 point (Red Sox) 

Jack Armstrong - 1 point (All-Star) 

Bip Roberts - 1 point (All-Star)

Tim Naehring - 1 point (Red Sox) 

John Smiley - 2 points (2x All-Star) 

 

Luis Aquino, Dennis Cook, Jose de Jesus, Andy Hawkins, Mark Lewis, Brent Mayne, Tony Phillips, R.J. Reynolds - 0 points

 

Points Scored: 13 points

 

I angled the cards a bit to show off the hologram. If 16 year old me opened this pack he would have been ecstatic to get 3 Red Sox cards in it. I was a bit surprised that Orosco and Smiley made multiple All-Star teams!

 

Pack #3

 

Reggie Sanders - 1 point (All-Star)
Jerome Walton - 1 point (Rookie of the Year) 

Mickey Morandini - 1 point (All-Star)
Ryne Sandberg - 30 points (HOF, MVP, 10x All-Star, 9x Gold Glove, 7x Silver Slugger)
Kelly Gruber - 4 points (2x All-Star, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger) 

Jesse Barfield - 3 points (Yankee, All-Star, 2x Gold Gloves, Silver Slugger) 

Greg Vaughn - 5 points (4x All-Star, Silver Slugger) 

Tom Henke - 2 points (2x All-Star) 

John Wetteland - 4 point (3x All-Star, WS MVP)

 

Allan Anderson, Rob Deer, Lenny Harris, Bob Kipper, Ron Oester, Kenny Williams, St. Louis Cardinals (Team Logo Hologram insert) - 0 points

 

Points Scored: 51 points

 

Sometimes a player just takes control of a game and carries his whole team on his back. Ryne Sandberg alone would have won this pack war, but we also get multiple points from 5 other guys.

 

Pack #3 defeats all challengers!

 

For $1/pack, these were fun and enjoyable packs to rip. The Nolan Ryan and Red Sox hologram inserts were pleasant surprises, and there were a lot of great photographs throughout. 

 

 

Repack Haiku #446 (Robby Thompson)

As Giants' rookie

Set a single game record:

Four times caught stealing

 

1988 Fleer #98 Robby Thompson

 

In a game against the Reds (June 27, 1986), Thompson set a Major League record by getting caught stealing four times in one game. The first three times were all failed hit and run attempts, with the last one a pick-off while Thompson was on 1st base that was scored a caught stealing because he broke for second base before being tagged.

Repack Haiku #445 (Dwight Evans)

Back in Double-A

Manager called him "Dewey"

Rhymed with two teammates

 

1987 Donruss #129 Dwight Evans

 

The history of a nickname, per an interview with Evans:

It started way back when I was in Double A. The manager was Ron Locke, good guy, good manager. He gave Don Newhauser the nickname “Newie.” Then there was another guy on the team - I can’t remember his full name - but his name was Louis so Ron called him “Louie.” Somewhere along the line he called me “Dewey,” so it became “Newie, Louie and Dewey.” It followed me all the way up to the big leagues.

I remember one of the first games of my career at Fenway back in 1972, I was playing left field. We were playing the Tigers and we were fighting for first place. Dick McAuliffe hit a high fly ball to me, and the TV announcer, I think it was Curt Gowdy, said, “and there’s a fly ball to left to Dewey Evans.” Well, I lost the ball in the sun. Never saw it. It landed 20 feet behind me. We ended up losing the game 2-1. After the game I was talking to my father and I said, “Dad, I can’t believe I lost that ball like that.” He said “Never mind that Dwight. What’s with all this Dewey stuff?” (Laughs). I told him, “Dad, if you could have heard what those fans out in left field were calling me after I let that fly ball drop, believe me, Dewey would sound real good right now. (Laughs again).

But it’s a nickname that really stuck. Everyone still calls me Dewey. Even my wife. 

Hopefully someday, "Dewey" will get his plaque in the Hall of Fame. His 67.2 WAR is 15th among right fielders - higher than Ichiro, Dave Winfield, and Vladimir Guerrero among others!  

TCDB Trade Recap: Cards From Hanover, MD

Sometimes someone on the TCDB will offer a post looking for trades, and while I happen to have a bunch of cards they need, they won't have much that I could use. If I can help someone complete their set and decrease the amount of cards in my doubles box, then I'll find something to trade for, even if it's not exactly a want at the moment. That was the case with a member named Ian. Most of the Red Sox cards he had on his trade list were from the junk wax era, and cards I was pretty sure I had. However, that didn't stop me from making an offer for some cards:

 

The 1986 Topps set is a set I plan on completing someday, but right now it's not a high priority and something for down the road. When I do circle back to it, I'll be a little bit closer than I was before.

 

Favorite card: I always liked the Team Leaders cards from this time period, and liked how they mentioned the longest tenured player for each team. Bring back the deans!

 

Thanks for the trade Ian! 

Trapped In Time: Remnants Of The 166th - 170th Trades

This is a first! There are more cards listed as remnants today then card that were posted on Monday's Time Travel Trading update! That's one way to clear space in the box I guess. There's a ton of vintage on the block today, including a pre-WWII card that is awesome and could net someone some extra cards! Let's see who has been in the stack for over 3 years...

 

Trade #166 Ken (Blog Reader)

Traded 04/27/22: 1963 Topps #118 Sherm Lollar, 1975 Topps (football) #436 Tommy Nobis, 1976 Topps #15 George Scott, 1976 Topps (football) #261 Frank Lewis, 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee (hockey) #33 Garry Unger, 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee (hockey) #38 Wayne Stephenson, 1980 Topps #157 Willie Wilson, 1983 Topps (football) #278 Archie Manning , 1984 O-Pee-Chee #351 Lou Piniella, 1985 O-Pee-Chee #6 Willie Wilson, 1988 Topps (football) #363 Christian Okoye (RC), 2001 Topps Post Cereal 500 Home Run Club #6 Harmon Killebrew, 2021-22 Upper Deck Tim Hortons - Photo Finish (hockey) #PF-4 Robin Lehner

38 cards in this trade, and only 4 remain! The Ray Sadecki card holds a special distinction as a Time Travel Trading card that was traded but eventually cam back later! I traded it to Ken back in 2019, and then 3 years later he sent back again. It's been with me ever since! Anyone else want to trade for it then send it back sometime in the future? This could be a thing!

Poor Larry Jackson. Another good sized trade from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!), and he is the only one remaining. Is it because his name is too plain? Is it because his sleeves are too short for his arms? Does he just not look good in canvas? Poor guy deserves better!

Three Pirates and a man with a palindrome for a last name! These cards from Brendan (The View From The Third Floor) deserve some love! I must say it's kind of cool seeing three different styles of headgear for one team. Did the Pirates actually wear all yellow caps like Ken Brett is wearing or is that particularly bad airbrushing?

Finally, we have a card from 1925! In the past, I've elected to keep pre-WWII cards in the Time Travel Trading Project just as record of how far back I've been able to go. Plus, these cards don't really fit my collection. It's highly unlikely that this card will get traded, but I'm going to try by making an offer: If anyone has a card older than 1925 that they are willing to part with in exchange for this card, they can take any 4 additional cards from the Time Travel trade stack. It's a 5-for-1 deal just to keep pushing the limits of time travel! Who's game?

 

With the exception of the Whippet Racing card, all of these cards will be retired and added to my personal collection unless someone is willing to trade for them in exchange for an older card. Their future is in your hands! 

 

Repack Haiku #444 (Barry Jones)

Was winning pitcher

Despite his team's zero hits

Not a real no-no

 

1989 Donruss #647 Barry Jones

 

Barry Jones earned a rare win on July 1, 1990 against the Yankees despite the fact that his teammates didn't get a single hit. Yankees pitcher Andy Hawkins no-hit Chicago, but thanks to 2 walks and 3 errors in the bottom of the 8th, the White Sox won the game 4-0. Jones had come into the game in the top of the 8th, making him the pitcher of record. Originally credited with a no-hitter, Hawkins feat was deemed to not qualify since he only had to pitch 8 innings.
