I love subsets, they give you a certain challenge within a set. I'm currently collecting T209-2 Greenville players and Wilmington players. Once I finish those two teams, i'll move onto another and slowly collect the set. The same goes for the T210 set. I'm 30 cards into the second series and after I finish that, i'll move onto another. Here are two good examples from each sub-set: |

It is a fact that the 1930 Phils have, purely numerically, the worst team ERA of all time -- no surprise in that the 1930 season featured the highest league ERAs of all time... |

Dave: I do not know whether you know anything about me, but let me assure you that I certainly can appreciate an individual who requires several paragraphs to say "yes". |

My niche set is based on my favorite book, "The Glory of Their Times" by Lawrence Ritter. It contains first hand accounts of 26 players from the early 20th Century: |

The only player I show a card for on your last 5 is Sherlock. Then again, I don't include matchbooks and anything larger than a postcard. |

It seems that cards get a bit thin for those last five. |

Tim- didn't the 1930 Phillies have the highest team batting average in baseball history? I seem to remember that. |

That T210 Wells above was chipped by me earlier in the year while I was attempting to break it out of a slab. |

That's great Tim! Please post a link, if you can, when you are done with it (or as done as you can reasonably get). |

Patrick, I got the Wells card from Brian and Scott got it from me. One of you two must have put the chip back on the card because when I put it in a holder to send to Scott the chip came off. I felt so bad. I thought I had done it. |

While there is no doubt in my mind that shorter fences will yield an increase in HRs, I also note that ballpark dimensions providing fence distances under 300' is hardly unprecedented. It is interesting to me to note that the previous year a hit over that fence was counted as a double. And with that rule, Williamson led the league in doubles with 49, which also set the single season record. |

Its all baseball. None of it should be ignored, it all is to be enjoyed, in part from a historical perspective,imho. Heck, should Hornsby and his accomplishments be ignored? Wait, you didn't say "ignored", you said "disregarded". Perhaps there is a subtle difference there, but I don't see it. Ruth played during an era of an enlightened ball, with no spitballers. What fan will buy into disregarding what he did? |

I stand by my statement that pitching and hitting records compiled before the mound was moved to 60 feet should be disregarded in context and relationship to modern baseball. |

Dave, although I have an insightful, witty and well thought out rebuttal for your statements, I recognize that I am dealing with an individual who possesses a thickness about the cranial area that rivals mine. And to effectively deal in this context, requires a change in venue to a site which includes beer. |
