That Fernando Martinez card looks like it could have been at Shea! But FMart never did play at Shea. Hmmm.

I was discussing McHugh today with a friend of mine, how he's having a breakout season and was barely memorable as a Met. But I still overlooked him.

There's a lot of badness there. Bad photos and bad design.

I have no memories at all of the uniform design worn by Abreu and WIlkins above.

I actually have a game-worn version of one of those - the home version.
