How about that? Matz and Alonso virgin winners! Vargas out-Schaefering deGrom!

Great cards of course

Love, love, love the 1972 set -- and how you inserted Shea in the background!

Those look like some disaffected Mets, though. Especially in the top row.

Although, with Matz, most pictures suggest the same thing.

Yeah the expression on the Matz card actually made me laugh a little.
Who had Matz as April Pitcher of the month in March? Hands, anyone?

At the time, I thought it was overly ambitious of you to take photos of these guys at Shea before they tore it down, but it's really paying dividends.

What a season debut!

The winners are more or less who I would have guessed. Though I thought JD Davis had a chance at bench player.

Great work. I echo what was said about the cards. Especially the Shea ones.

This Schaefer PotM award for Alonso gives that Milwaukee pitcher another reason to get pissed off.

Great job. Matz looks chilly

Alonso’s so strong he hits ‘em outta parks that ain’t even there no more.

Particularly like the Record Breaker card.

Jake reclaiming his throne! Nicely done, both him and Grimm.

Was thinking it would be cool if Rajai Davis could have won Bench Player of the Month based on his one game but I guess not. Dig the recordbreaker card.

Is this the first time a player was released within 2 weeks of Schaefering a month?

It might very well be!

McNeil winning both Player awards. He can do it all!

I should have mentioned this. This is a Schaefer first.

That 1976 McNeil is so perfect I can swear I pulled it from a pack when I was in sixth grade. Beautiful.

The dinged corner is a great touch

Font's card is Fontastic.

I like the Font card best too.

I always seem to have ten games to catch up on.

What were the odds entering 2019 that Wilmer Font would make it to the Schaefer Circle of Sports before Edwin Diaz?
