Over the next week I’m planning to sell 6 football sets on eBay. 1968-1973. If interested let me know. I will determine eBay price (based on recent sales), but $50 discount here. I listed 1972 (EX, series 1+2) for $400.

(I tried to get credit from my son, but he said “you have football cards?”)

These new details from last summer's confrontation between Rob Manfred and Bryce Harper are absolutely insane.

MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior.
