  • We Are Turning 40!
    Page 1 KIT YOUNG’S SALE #128 WE ARE TURNING 40! This month marks our 40th year in business. I started back in the stone ages as a one-man gang, mainly doing shows and eventually advertising in The Trader Speaks, Sports Collectors Digest, then later in Baseball Hobby News, The Sporting News, USA Weekly, The Advertiser and more. I was joined by Scott Cowan when he was a mere child of 15 (he’s now 51), then within a short time by Rob Rosen, Bob Ivanjack & Nacho Arredondo. These 4 stalwarts have been my partners for a combined 110 years (average 27 years each). I’ve noted before that we started before there were official price guides and long before words like “faxing”, “emailing” and “Googling” were part of our world. It’s hard to believe but we opened our doors before Microsoft, Home Depot & Costco even existed. It’s been a great ride so far. Some of our clients have dealt with us for 20-30 years, some longer. It’s still a kick to go to a big card show and have people stop by to say they ordered their first card from us. They usually say they ordered with they were 9-12. These collectors now are often 40-50. Crazy! Special thanks to the 100,000+ collectors we’ve served over the past 4 decades. I look forward to the coming years. Kit, our late leader Patti, Scott, Bob, Nacho & Rob To celebrate this anniversary we are offering special 20-30-40% off sections in this sale.

  • Gambling with the Bronx Bombers: Betting On, Against, and with the Yankees
    GAMBLING WITH THE BRONX BOMBERS: BETTING ON, AGAINST, AND WITH THE YANKEES Ronald J. Rychlak* The New York Yankees, arguably the most hallowed name in all of pro- fessional sports, has probably had more money wagered on the outcome of its games than any other team in any sport.1 Although few people today may be aware of it, the team itself has a long history of association with gamblers and gambling. The first owners of the Yankees were notorious gamblers; the team’s first captain was indicted in the 1919 “Black Sox” scandal; one Yankees’ pitcher was suspected of having thrown another Series game; one owner had ties to underworld figures in Las Vegas; another owner was suspended for his dealings with a known gambler; and one of the most beloved Yankees of all time was barred from baseball due to his association with a casino.2 Addition- ally, it has been suggested that the Yankees’ threat of moving to New Jersey in the mid-1990s was linked to New York State authorizing gambling.3 I. EARLY INNINGS: GAMBLING ON A NEW LEAGUE The relationship between the Yankees and gambling, which continues today, began even before the first Yankee players took the field.4 In the 1800s, people thought of baseball in the same way people today might think of horse racing or jai alai – gambling was simply part of the sport. Brooklyn’s Union Grounds was considered the finest ballpark of the 1870s. One reason was because it had a special facility inside the stadium for the use of bookmakers * B.A.

  • Vol. 34, No. 4 Tigers Fans Who Always Care July 2018 GETTING
    Vol. 34, No. 4 Tigers Fans Who Always Care July 2018 GETTING OUR HOPES UP – By David Raglin Yes, I know this is a rebuilding year. But going into the Reds series, we were only one game under .500, 36-37, and had a five-game winning streak. The Reds have the worst record in the National League, and that series was to be followed by what could have been a showdown with the Tribe. At least it would have been nice to reach and even surpass .500, even if only for a short time. After seeing Jeimer Candelario win the Mayo game in a walkoff against Cleveland while wearing my new “Candelario 46” T-shirt, maybe this team could… We all know what happened next. The Reds swept the two-game series in Cincinnati, the Indians swept three in Cleveland (even the most loyal U-M fan does not like dislike Ohio more than I do right now), and we blew a 4-1 lead in the pre-fireworks opener against the A’s as I was typing this. I guess it’s a good sign that this team has made me mad. They have been good enough to make me care not just about the kids, but about wins and losses. CATCHING THE BALL – By David Raglin One of the reasons the Tigers have been better than expected is the improved defense. All of the defensive measures have shown the Tigers’ improvement, but the stat we use most, Baseball Info System’s Defensive Runs Saved (DRS), shows how dramatic it’s been.
