A sizzling first half that included a 9-0 start sent Clemens to the All-Star Game in 2004 for the 10th time in his career.  He has appeared as a representative of four different teams, but it was with the Red Sox, his original squad, that he gave his most memorable performance.  In his ASG debut at age 23 in 1986, he started and worked three perfect innings to pick up the victory.

I’ve been putting any card with a Beckett High value of at least $3.00 into top loaders.  Well, I’ve run out of top loaders, so that means the standard is now upped to $4.00.  All $3.00 cards are coming out of the top loaders today.

It looks like in 2005 Topps figured out that collectors like action shots, so they made all these players make ridiculous fake action poses during Spring Training.  Check it out… and these are just cards from this pack:

Is that Jermaine Dye taking practice swings in front of a Costco?
