What if Larry Bird chose baseball over basketball? ⚾🏀
It’s true — in 1979, Bird played ONE college baseball doubleheader for Indiana State. He went 1-for-2 with two RBIs and made nine putouts at first base. That was it.
Now imagine if he stuck with baseball…
No Celtics dynasty.
No Magic vs. Bird rivalry.
No 80s NBA takeover.
One decision changed sports history forever.

⚾️ Andruw Jones belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame! 🧢
When you talk about true five-tool players — elite defender, power hitter, and game changer — Andruw Jones is one of the best of his generation. It’s time Cooperstown recognizes it.
📊 Career Achievements • 434 career home runs — one of only a handful of center fielders in MLB history with 400+ long balls.
• 1,933 hits, 1,289 RBIs, 1,204 runs scored over 17 seasons.
• .254/.337/.486 slash line with a solid 111 OPS+.
Baseball Reference +1
StatMuse
Baseball Reference
🏆 Elite Defense + Accolades • 10× Gold Glove Award winner — rare company that includes Willie Mays and Ken Griffey Jr.
• Jones is arguably the greatest defensive center fielder of the modern era and ranks at or near the top in defensive WAR for outfielders.
• 5× All-Star and 2005 Silver Slugger.

🔥 Peak Value That Matches Hall Standards During his peak (1998–2007), Jones: • Ranked third in WAR among all MLB position players, trailing only A-Rod and Bonds — and ahead of many Hall of Famers.
• Had consistently dominant offense and defense, including a 51-HR season and runner-up finish in the NL MVP race in 2005.

Battery Power
⚖️ Hall of Fame Case Context Jones has steadily gained support on the Hall ballot, rising to over 66% of the vote — with voters increasingly recognizing his defensive greatness, offensive contributions, and all-around impact. Just two more years and the votes could push him over 75% required for induction.

📌 Why It Matters Andruw Jones isn’t just a Braves legend — he’s a generational talent whose combination of power and defense stands with other Hall icons. He may not fit the old “classic hitter” mold, but his peak value, elite defense, and historic achievements absolutely deserve a Hall plaque.
💬 Let’s give this all-star, defensive wizard, and power hitter his rightful place in Cooperstown! #HallOfFame #AndruwJones

🔥 ODDBALL CARD LOVE 🔥
This one right here is one of my all-time favorites.
🃏 1979 Venorlandus Ltd.
🥊 MUHAMMAD ALI
🌍 Our Heroes – World of Sport
This isn’t your typical Topps or mainstream issue — this is a straight-up oddball classic. Different country, different design, different vibe… and that’s exactly why it hits so hard.
Ali wasn’t just a boxer. He was a global icon, and this card proves it. The Our Heroes set shows how far his influence reached — beyond the ring, beyond borders, and into pop culture worldwide.
These oddball cards don’t get enough love, but they tell stories the hobby sometimes forgets. This one? It’s staying in the PC forever. 💪
