They are the best team in the International League at the moment. Seems like you can say that at some point every year. They have some great names on the roster. My favorite player on the current roster has to be two way player Brendan McKay. I got to watch him a few times in college while he was playing for Louisville, and in summer baseball for the USA Baseball college national team.
I picked up a few of his cards. They have been sitting on my coffee table, but I have not taken the time to post them in my space here. Waiting to go to a Bulls game. Let me go ahead and post them ahead of time.
Two from 2019.
I really like the 1989 Bowman style cards that are an insert in this year's Bowman set. The cards are obviously not as big as the original set, which were the same size as the 1950s Bowman cards, but I love the simple design. They have that Chrome finish, but I kind of wish that Topps would use some old stock on these cards.
A Top 100 Prospects insert card. Speaks for itself. Very industrial looking on the bottom, with honeycomb pattern on the top. What is even happening here?
Final card.
I have always dabbled with the TEK brand cards from Topps. This was from last year when Topps put out both a Topps TEK set, along with a Bowman TEK set. I like these cards, but I only buy them as singles, and I try to stay away from trying to buy all the pattern variations. That's ridiculous. McKay has always had that tiny signature.
Enjoy your summer break! I was suppose to attend my first San Jose Giants game of the year tonight... but my friend got sick. She offered to give me the tickets, but I ended up passing. I could use the extra rest.
