I thought I had a 2008 Joey Votto (RC) here

I'm still trying to gather up some of my loose decade stars binder material and as I'm going through my 2000s debut cards with some 'numbers,' I wouldn't have looked this Votto rookie over twice in my micro-mini stash - it's was a nice dollar card find earlier in the year that may end up as a centerpiece to a page.

I decided to look really closer at the copyright on the back of the card and it looks like it was from 2010 rather than 2008 - I'm thinking not again with this reprint [business], so I look things up on eBay to see that this was actually from a Topps insert set in 2010 I mostly associated with retired greats.

I don't think there would be any reason not to think this was from 2008 - it just gets confusing 10-15 years later when all the cards jumble together, where at least for rookies I have to pay attention sometimes to see if I have the real deal in hand.

Farewell Torii Hunter

He really battled and fought on the baseball field - he had a fantastic MLB career and also starred for five years with the Angels.

Maybe a gripe about Hunter was he was not always PC when it came to things like Latin players and also gays - though I doubt he is the only professional player to have those beliefs, I think writers and bloggers will always try to exploit apparent faults with 'athletes' who end up talking too much for their own good.
