Do you know what baseball needs? More coliseums. We have plenty of parks and stadiums, but outside of Oakland, we lack the majestic-sounding "Coliseum". The Athletics' new home looks like it'll be quite amazing, so this could be the end of this particular style of naming.

Any time the Yankees lose is truly a Great Moment! I like how this set is framed. The black and white photos are particularly well-done.

A fantastic play at the plate shot - granted, said plate is obscured by the strip of white, but not knowing how close they are makes it more intriguing. Personally, I don't think it was a close play at all - those guys in the dugout don't even look excited.

The stadium scenes in Flagship are all quite good but Oakland is my favorite. a gorgeous field!
ReplyDeleteI'm stocked that the Athletics are eventually going to get a new home... but the Oakland Coliseum has provided me over 40 years worth of happiness. I'm gonna miss that place.
ReplyDeleteThe Oakland Coliseum isn't half-bad looking the way it's framed on that card. (I'm sure the players would disagree.) I agree we need more Coliseums and I always try to watch Rams games when they're playing at the [corporate name here] L.A. Coliseum before they move into their shiny new multi-billion dollar [corporate name here] Stadium :/
ReplyDeleteGreat shot on that McCann card. I think the horizontal cards work very well in the 2019 set.
