A place where Colorado Rockies baseball card collectors (all 3 of us) can waste some time reading about our favorite sport. The Rockies and their cards will be the primary focus, but I like to go off on tangents as well so anything and everything baseball related may be covered here.

2013 Quarry Unlimited - #20 New York Mets Part 1



Before we begin let me wish both Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to appease both sides of the issue.  Last year's team on Christmas was the most appropriate team for the holiday, the Angels.  This year it is the team that looks probably the least Christmas-y, the New York Mets.  It's nothing personal against the Mets, but their blue and orange color scheme is almost the exact opposite of Christmas colors.  There really isn't a team that looks really Christmas-like, although the White Sox could probably patch together a Christmas look from their many past color schemes.  Before I ramble on anymore let's take a look at some team trivia for the Mets.
