Episode 52 - It's Always Old Timers Day

Dust off that Orlando Juice hat and the St. Petersburg Pelicans jersey, this week it’s all about the short-lived Senior Professional Baseball Association. Retired players took to Florida spring training diamonds to entertain baseball starved fans in the winter of 1989 and 90. The fact it only lasted a year and a half tells you how popular it was. But some great names got to put on the uniform again and we relive all the BenGay fueled memories. Remember Tuffy Rhodes, average player in the MLB but he swung a huge stick in the Japan. His chances of making the NPB Hall of Fame seem to be fading though, we talk about why. More ‘89 Topps in this week’s Wax Pack Heroes. But who will walk away a couple of cents richer?

If you've got those Tom Foley or Ernest Riles cards just sitting around you can donate those commons to charity and maybe spark a child's interest in baseball and collecting.
