  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

    Clean Sweep: The Sweet Spot for Auctions The sports memorabilia business seems to have an auction literally every day, not to mention ebay. Some auctions are telephone book size catalogs with multiple examples of the same item (thus negatively affecting prices) while others are internet-only auctions that run for a short time and have only been in business for a relatively short time (5 years or less). Clean Sweep Auctions is the sweet spot of sports auction companies. We have been in business for over 20 years and have one of the deepest and best mailing lists of any auction house. Do not think for a second that a printed catalog in addition to a full fledged website will not result in higher prices for your prized collection. Clean Sweep has extensive, virtually unmatched experience in working with all higher quality vintage cards, autographs and memorabilia from all of the major sports. Our catalogs are noted for their extremely accurate descriptions, great pictures and easy to read layout, including a table of contents. Our battle tested website is the best in the business, combining great functionality with ease of use. Clean Sweep will not put your cherished collection in random or overly large lots, killing the potential to get a top price. We can spread out your collection over different types of auctions, maximizing prices. We work harder and smarter than anyone in the business to bring top dollar for your collection at auction. Clean Sweep is extremely well capitalized, with large interest-free cash advances available at any time.
