2014 Quarry Unlimited - #15 Toronto Blue Jays Part 2

ROOKIE PROSPECTS

My Top 5 Blue Jays Cards
1. Brett Lawrie (red)
2. Cole Gillespie (blue)
3. Melky Cabrera (yellow)
4. Dioner Navarro (green)
5. Chris Getz (blue)

The Brett Lawrie card makes perfect uses of the Jays video screen.  The big logo combined with the arms raised really make a very though provoking image.  Some people might not like the Gillespie, but I think seeing a baseball player swinging the bat in shorts is quite amusing.  It would be like a photo of a basketball player dunking in long pants.  It just shouldn't be, but it is, so I like it.  I have really taken a shine to the "catch while mingling with the fans shot" this year.  The Cabrera is not the best of those, but it is still a pretty good glimpse of the game.  The yellow-framed sunglasses on the lady in the stands really puts it over the top.  The Navarro just makes me chuckle.  When would he have time to rest on his helmet at second base?  During a replay?  Maybe he thinks there is too much time in between pitches as well.  Finally for my #5 I could have chosen several other better photos, but I went with Getz instead.  He didn't have a long career, but he retired mid season and this will no doubt be his final card.  It;s not a bad double play shot either.



Coming Monday - #16 Texas Rangers

2014 Quarry Unlimited - #15 Toronto Blue Jays Part 1

Ending the first half of my countdown is the Toronto Blue Jays.  I can't believe we are halfway finished with this year's set.  It seems to be rolling by.  Anyway, the Blue Jays are the perfect team to be right in the middle because I couldn't possibly care less about them.  I don't dislike them, but I don't like them and probably never will.  To be honest if they moved tomorrow, unless they moved pretty close to me, it wouldn't affect me one bit.  They are just the picture of apathy.  The only way I could see liking the Blue Jays would be if both Orioles and Rays were bad and the Jays were in direct competition with the Yankees and/or Red Sox for the title.  And even then it wouldn't be so much me rooting for the Jays, but rooting against their opponents.  But it's okay for me to be apathetic toward the Jays, because I am sure many fans of other teams are completely apathetic toward my Colorado Rockies.  With 30 teams in the league, there are always going to be teams that you don't care about one way or the other.  For me it is currently the Jays.  I wish I had more to say about them, but the best I can come up with is this funny as hell video.

Who knows?  If they keep coming up with cool stuff like this, maybe I will start to like them one day.
