The Big Bull
Pedro Alvarez had a big game last night against the Cardinals hitting two tape measure homeruns. If the Pirates played the Cardinals all season Pedro would hit 300 long balls. He just seems to go on a different level against the Red Birds. Lets hope this gets him going early as he has had a history of being a slow starter.
I've been trying to get my hands on a McCutchen and Alvarez patch card from the 2013 Postseason set out of Topps Series 1. Finally about a month ago I was able to get my hands on this patch of Pedro. It is a good chunk of the Pirate logo numbered to /100. I'm still on the hunt for the Cutch. The prices on Ebay are still higher than what I'm willing to pay.

Wow is that patch sick as heck. Nice pickup!
ReplyDeleteBTW, would you be interested in a (blind) trade? I've got a stack of random Pirates I've been looking to move for a while.
Trade always sounds good to me. Shoot me an email and we can exchange addresses. mattscott82@gmail.com
DeleteThat's just awesome! Glad to see your Pirates have a winning record. I'm still waiting for the A's and Padres to figure things out.
ReplyDeleteSo far so good. Just hope everyone stays healthy.
DeleteYep he is a Cardinal killer always has been. I have always wondered why is it certain players play better against certain teams.
ReplyDeleteIn Pedro's case I think it is just being familiar with the Cards and the fact they never had many left handed starters.
DeleteAwesome pickup!! I'd love to pick one of these up, but a bit out of my price range at this point
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael! Some really nice patches from that set. Hope to find a nice Cutch at some point.
