For a set that chronicles one of the worst years in the history of our franchise, this is one of my favorite Topps sets. A fresh new look, an odd combination of colors that should have been featured on Padres cards, and a redo of the little player silhouettes that were used in 1973 all added up to a great looking design.
It's too bad that there aren't a lot of Tigers cards that are worth looking back on, but it's rare that I give Topps a nod for making a great looking set, so I'll leave it at that.

Sarah Palin is about to tell me how governing a state with a smaller population than the city of Memphis makes her a worthwhile candidate to be one heartbeat away from being the President of the United States of America. So on that I must call it a night. How fitting that my musings about our nation's bicentennial baseball card issue would coincide with this historic moment.
Or not.
She reminds me of Tina Fey.
When am I supposed to quit laughing?
