Future ingredients for the best jersey cards ever made.

The Before and After of David Freese's jersey, shredded by joy.

There's nothing like an epic baseball game to shake people out of their baseball doldrums...and last night's rapid-fire, bizarro-world, what are they thinking?, OMG World Series Game 6 did just that. After months of inexplicable torpor, suddenly we cared about baseball again. The corporate tinge faded, the overpaid galoot factor didn't matter, and everything crystallized into a perfect baseballian tangle of wonderful moments.

We hope you'll forgive us for disappearing and we hope you'll have us back, although there's no telling what we'll actually write about....bb cardboard is so well covered on the intertubes these days! Amazin'.
