Hall of Fame Michigan Man

Oddly enough, today's random post is a Michigan grad but I don't really include him in my Tier 2 Michigan players, he's in the Tier 2 because I liked him before I knew he went to Michigan. The Tier 2 Michigan players started awhile back of players who went on to the pros after watching them at Michigan. I never watched him at Michigan because for one, the Big Ten Network wasn't around so I never watched any baseball because it wasn't on anywhere. It's not like now-a-days where you don't have to watch a game to follow a team. There are news reports, blogs, gamecasts, ect. that to keep track of any sport.

Anyways, let's get to the former Wolverine, current Hall of Famer.

A couple of good action shots up there. That top right is a Panini Sticker from 1994 and if you're wondering how I didn't have the 1991 Topps already, I do. That's the O-Pee-Chee version. I wasn't aware they had versions that still listed them as Topps on the front.

As you can see on the back there is a little bit of French and the color is a little lighter.

The top left in this photo is also a O-Pee-Chee but that one obviously didn't copy the Topps card from the same year. That's a lot of Larkin's for $.20/each at the baseballcardstore.ca. Everything shown above came from there.

Dennis of "Too Many Verlanders" also sent me these 7 of Barry in his package to me last month. It's one of our mutual player collections. I don't have to tell which is my favorite of all of these. I love anything with the Block M on it. Although I do like the Archives too because, you know, it looks vintage.

These 17 cards put my Larkin collection at 230 cards which makes it my 4th highest player collection.
