Tornado!

I'm writing this on Saturday afternoon but who knows when I'll be putting it up. You see, there was a tornado here yesterday and cable and internet have been a luxury that's been off the table since then. I'm actually pretty fortunate; I was talking to a friend from my hometown- about two hours up the river- and they still don't have power at all and the city just shut the water off for reasons I don't even know. I'd look it up or turn on the news but, yeah... But anyway, this is a card blog so I should probably say something about cards. I recently gathered up some Padres and Yankees cards to send to everybody's pal Sam as a late birthday present or whatever. I figure the guy puts up with enough tiny phallus jokes over the course of a year; the least I could do is give him some cards. Here are some of the doubles I weeded out; he'll be getting some others but why ruin the surprise any more?

Mustache Monday: More Mack

More Mack already?
A mere three short weeks have passed
But that 'stache deserves it

Mustache Monday: Mack's Many Mustaches

Like last week's 'stacherocker Fred McGriff, Shane Mack was no one mustache wonder. Even before debuting with the Padres, Mack had the ol' lipwarmer in full effect in the minors and as an Olympian. He went on to keep it the entirety of his career, although he kept it closely trimmed toward the end of his career. Mack was a true advocate for the solo-'stache, never giving in like so many others in the mid-to-late 90s by accompanying it with a trendy goatee.
