The Best Things In Life

Are FREE!

Here are the fruits of my glorious retweet.  You may recall I hit the retweet button on a 2014 Bowman Chrome Hobby Box giveaway from Bowman, and was the lucky winner out of 1.2K tweeters!!!

One guy will not be a Tiger next season and the other is no longer a Tiger. Only three Tigers in the bundle with a Buck Farmer rounding out the bunch...only two Tigers in the Chrome Prospect checklist --- a sign of things to come? Lack of prospects?

Padre & Pirate Autos, those most likely get swapped to Backstop & Walk the Plank or Big 44

The Price is #d/99, also a Billy Hamilton SP #d/99, still looking for the Castellanos SP

A Correa, Harper, and Polanco/Taveras not bad!!!  I do like these NEW bubble refractors

For some of you check the mailbox, for others, inquire within

And it pays to retweet, thanks @Bowman

Hot Corner, Pat

The Bright Side

I never win anything.  Nothing, seriously.  Did you happen to see the Tigers previous four postseason's?  I am used to disappointment since I was 4....

I picked this up at my LCS Saturday, it has nothing to do with the post.

Let's recap:

1984 - World Series Champions
1987 - lose to Minnesota in ALCS, Alan Stuart Trammell #2 in MVP Voting
1994 - MLB Strike
1996 - Alan Stuart Trammell retires, 14 years of HOF ballot hell
2003 - worst record in American League history (Alan Stuart Trammell as manager)
2006 - lost to St. Louis in World Series
2008 - supposed to score 1,000 runs, miss playoffs
2009 - lost Game 163 to Minnesota
2011 - lost to Texas in ALCS
2012 - lost to Giants in World Series
2013 - lost to Boston in ALCS
2014 - swept by the O's in ALDS

So, I came home from a rather unusually awful day at work, hopped on twitter, hit the ole' RT and went about the rest of my Wednesday

Picked up a box of #BowmanChrome yet? If not, no worries. RT this for a chance to win a hobby box! #collect pic.twitter.com/ZwtLkJJwJT
