I've got another short post tonight, as my wife has been out of town and I've been busy trying to keep things running here at home. I go to work pretty early in the morning, so the kids had to get up with me to get ready to go to the babysitter's, and by the time we got home each evening we were all wiped out. Yesterday we all crashed for a couple of hours after we got home. By the time I got dinner and laundry and bedtime done, there wasn't much time for anything else. I know some people manage to do the single parent thing for many years, but it's not the life for me.
This card is a 2014 Bowman Sterling Japan-Fractor, a parallel that was packed only in boxes of Bowman Sterling destined for Japan. The player is Jon Singleton, the one-time hot prospect who never really took off during his 2014 and 2015 stints with the Astros. He's spent this season down at AA, and probably doesn't have much future with the team. His batting average is low, but he gets on base at a pretty good clip due to a favorable walk rate. Maybe another team will be willing to give him a whirl, but it is probably more likely that he spends a few years in the minors and then washes out of the system. The 2014 Bowman Sterling set has a bit of a 1995 Fleer vibe to it, if the colors in 1995 were toned down a bit. This card is numbered # 06 / 25.
