...with my pursuit of the 2003 Topps set! Thanks to Bert of blog
Swing And A Pop-Up and Johnny of the eponymous
Johnny's Trading Spot, I've gotten a bunch of cards closer to finishing the decade-old set. I've since freshened up my
wantlist to reflect that. For real, this set is so old most of the players are retired, and the Oakland A's sported the above logo on their caps!
Art Howe, of Moneyball fame, was one such Athletic. If you zoom in very closely, you might make out the blazing elephant logo. Perhaps the only major league manager to be played by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman in a movie, Howe did not manage the A's in '03, leaving instead to skipper the Mets for two years and work as a bench coach for the Phillies and Rangers until 2008.
Justice was also on the Moneyball team recounted in Michael Lewis' book. Incidentally, the
guy who played him in the movie was
in the Braves' system along with Justice back in the '90s.
2003 would be the only year from 1990 to 2008 that Maddux did
not win a Gold Glove.
Another example of fun headgear! The Padres have worn some sort of camo uniforms
since 2000. The full
2003 camo uniform looks like this.
I would love to meet a self-described Taggert Bozied supercollector one day. A Xavier Nady SC would be fun to meet too.
Loving this.
I'll be as happy as Vladdy when I finally finish off this set!
Thanks again to John and Bert! If you want to help me out with this set, check out my
wantlist (and perhaps my
for-trade list) and shoot me an email about a trade!

As an A's fan, I'm so glad they retired that logo with the elephant sporting sunglasses. There's something to be said about keeping things simple and old school.
