A Fine Baseball Card

I heard that baseball season started, so I thought I might show a baseball card on the blog. My team out of Houston started out pretty well, winning their first three games against the Mariners. They've since dropped two in a row, one to the Mariners and one to the Royals. I guess it's still too early to say what any of that means.

I've got a busy weekend ahead of me, as I have to work on Saturday and travel halfway across the country on Sunday. The good news is that next weekend I should be able to go and see a baseball game and a WWE Live event. It should be a good time, unless I ruin it with my bad attitude.


I picked up this 2015 Topps Finest Josh Reddick card a couple of months ago. My Josh Reddick collecting has kind of burned out after I stopped finding cards for my 2013 Topps Josh Reddick Super Rainbow, but I still pick up the occasional card for it. This Orange Refractor parallel is numbered # 10 / 25.

Reddick actually plays for the Astros now, after signing with them this offseason (on my birthday). He hasn't had a lot of impact in the first five games, batting .250 without scoring a run or an RBI. There is plenty of season left, though.

  1. I love orange refractors - they just catch your eye right away with the strong contrast against so many of the team's units.

    Didn't realize reddick was on the astros until I saw him up to bat during last nights game.

    1. I like most Refractors. It seems like a relatively simple concept (make a kinda shiny card REALLY shiny, and add colors sometimes!), but it really works.

      I haven't watched any baseball this year. I usually wait to start my MLB.tv subscription until they put it on sale for Father's Day. The Astros started out hot, and now they are in a cold spell.

  2. I will always quietly cheer for Reddick. That guy gave A's fans a lot of great memories.

    1. He can be a pretty exciting player. I hope he has a big year for Houston.
