Jim Palmer, 2012 Topps 1987 Mini #TM-94

I would love to give you the blow-by-blow from tonight's absurd 8-6, 13-inning win by the Orioles. However, I've been home from the stadium for about an hour and my brain is still in a fairly gooey state. The palms of my hands are still raw and red from pounding them against each other, and my voice is hoarse. Just wild.

So here's a new card (with an old design) featuring Jim Palmer's trademark high leg kick, which was immortalized in statue form at a dedication ceremony nine hours ago. Orioles Magic, spanning the generations. I'm pretty certain that I'm typing gibberish. I'm going to stop now.

What a bizarre card, the 2012 Oriole bird logo, on the 1987 Topps design, for a player whose last season was 1984. Who thinks these things up?!?

Oriolephan - Sure is. He had his statue unveiled.

Tim - That's actually the 1980s bird logo. But yes, Topps is pretty schizophrenic these days.
