It's the only one that was a series walk off, and the only that says "Game 7" next to it.<br /><br />To me, Ortiz and Pujols tie for seconnd; they both staved off elimination games, but they both have something different going for them. First - Ortiz staved off elimination IN A SERIES HIS TEAM WON (unlike Pujols). However, Pujols staved off elimination while his team was losing (unlike Ortiz).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-43206634694405211562011-07-07T09:28:15.231-04:002011-07-07T09:28:15.231-04:00I love the photos of the '71 set probably best...I love the photos of the '71 set probably best of any set. <br /><br />From the sideways Thurman Munson, to the "Now hey fellas, I wasn't ready for the photo" look of Ernie Banks, the young, eager, whole-career-ahead-of-him look of Steve Garvey, the deflated "whiffed it" look of Brooks Robinson, the lonely look of Nolan Ryan, the Crown Cola sign and a afternoon game, the happy smile of Ted Williams... Beautiful set. <br />And the Lindy McDaniel is the perfect baseball card photo. It's absolutely perfect, I look in to it and I'm there, at Yankee Stadium, watching that game. <br /><br />Could be nostalgia, of what baseball games used to be to me as a kid, a place where dad, uncles and grandpas went, and if you were lucky they took you with them. Where people watched baseball games, not crazy score boards with exploding lights or guessed which song the organist was playing. It was full of people who came to see a baseball game, images of my uncle with a stubby cigar stuck out of the corner of his mouth, a mean, leaning on every pitch as if it were a full count, bottom of the 9th, game 7 of a World Series. and how that has changed so much to where a baseball game is trying to be a circus now because they need to bring more people to the park in order to afford these crazy salaries. <br /><br />That Lindy McDaniel card brings me right back to where baseball was to me as a kid, and for that, it is for me the perfect baseball card photo.Anthony Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235433322648199652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-62053405030188629882011-07-07T09:16:55.114-04:002011-07-07T09:16:55.114-04:00When you started the HR poll I said to myself I wa...When you started the HR poll I said to myself I was going to vote for Ortiz and than clear my cookies every day until the poll closed.
