Denny McLain will be appearing at the Sports Card show on Sunday, November 23, 2014 at the Ramada Inn in Bordentown, NJ. Special autograph pricing: BUY 1 AUTOGRAPH GET 1 FREE! Denny McLain was the last pitcher in baseball history to win 30+ games in a season. In 1968, McLain was 31-6, won the Cy Young Award, won the MVP Award and won the World Series. He followed up that performance by winning the CY Young Award again in 1969.

People are comparing Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers to Sandy Koufax. Kershaw won his 20th game this year in 26 starts (tied for the fewest starts in MLB history). Kershaw's 1.80 ERA is insane. His strikeout to walk ratio 228/31 is also insane. The scary thing is, he is only 26 years old! With a 2.49 lifetime ERA and 5 consecutive 200+ strikeout years, Kershaw seems destined for greatness. Now is the time to start (if you haven't already) stockpiling Kershaw collectibles.

The Vikings announced early Wednesday that Adrian Peterson will not be allowed to practice or play for the Minnesota Vikings until his court case is over. That means Peterson's season is probably over. The Vikings had reinstated Peterson on Monday and quickly did an about face when business sponsors started dropping the Vikings. Maybe the Vikings should have known that this was going to happen. Look at the Ray Rice situation. Look at all the other situations where sponsors have dropped players and teams for their actions. Wouldn't it be easier to get it right the first time?

Former Milwaukee Braves Baseball player, Frank Torre, passed away at the age of 82. Frank was instrumental in the Braves 1957 World Series Championship. Frank hit 2 home runs to help beat the Yankees in 7 games. Frank and his brother Joe were extremely close. I remember in 1996 when Frank had a heart transplant, the impact it had on his brother. Frank also had a kidney transplant in 2007. It was nice to see that Frank was around when his brother Joe was inducted into Baseball's Hall Of Fame.

Joseph White of the Associated Press reports:  If the Cleveland Browns pick a quarterback based solely on numbers, there's not much either Johnny Manziel or Brian Hoyer did to show he deserves the job.

David Price joins Max Scherzer & Justin Verlander in the Tigers pitching rotation. The last 3 Cy Young award winners are sure to give opposing hitters fits. I can't remember the last time a team's pitching rotation was as strong as this. With MVP Miguel Cabrera on offense and the last 3 Cy Young award winners, who is to beat the Tigers? The 1st place Tigers are sure to stay there. There are tons of Detroit Tigers and other teams collectibles on the website you need to visit: RK Sports Promotions

1 day before former Rookie Of The Year & 4x All-Star Chuck Knoblach was to be inducted into the Minnesota Twins Hall Of Fame, he was arrested for beating up his wife. Way to go tough guy! Because you were a professional athlete, do you think you can get away with beating up a female? There is no room in this society for cowards like this. This is not the 1st time that he beat up a female. Back in 2009 he was accused of choking his then common-law-wife. The Minnesta Twins have CANCELLED his induction into their hall of fame. Pretty embarassing!
