#MyCardMonday

Detroit Tigers has one of the worst farm system in all of baseball and it has been like that for many seasons. It is really hard to get really excited for a prospect in the Tigers farm system. A couple of years ago we saw a young outfielder named Avisail Garcia making a name for himself. It was the same time that Nick Castellanos was their top prospect. Between the two I was more excited for Garcia. It might be from his nickname "Little Miggy" due to the fact he looks like Miguel Cabrera.

Garcia would be traded during the 2013 season to the White Sox in a three team trade that involve Jose Iglesias coming to Detroit. We got a future gold glove winner and the White Sox got a solid corner outfielder. Really happy to see Garcia doing well even though it is for the team I despise the most. So far this year he is hitting .278/.327/.392 with 7 home runs and 30 RBIs. Defensively he has 9 outfield assists with only 1 error. The highlight play from the season for Garcia came this weekend against the Orioles.

Being a Detroit Tigers fan, I will make the arguement that Ty Cobb was the greatest hitter to ever play the great game of baseball. For #mycardmonday I picked my favorite Ty Cobb Card and it features the guy Cobb said would have been a better hitter then him.

Ty Cobb retired from baseball known for two things. First being the most hated man in baseball for how hard he played and how he would slide hard into bags and try to injure players. Secondly he retired from baseball holding 90 records. His best record was the 4,191 hits and his still current record having a career batting average of .367. As a hitter he could do it all. Hit for average, lay down a bunt and also hit home runs in a dead ball era. Once on base he could steal any base he wanted, including home plate, which he did 50 times.

"Shoeless" Joe Jackson career playing baseball came to unfortunate end after the 1919 World Series that the Chicago White Sox supposedly threw. He never admitted to throwing the World Series and actually had a a good series where he hit .375. In his shorten career he had over 1,700 hits and a career average of .356.
