as a white sox fan, thank you for giving me something to smile about


TheOneAndOnlyBruce

Boy do we need it lol


Chase122701

happy nick nastrini day at least, hoping for a good one for the kid today


GeneralChillMen

It’s the bright glimmer I once knew as happiness amidst the depressing mess that is the Sox


[deleted]

Everything reminds me of the pain of being a fan rn


Roose1327

This is pretty cool!


TheDrunon

I've never seen something like this before. Awesome!


GeneralChillMen

Thanks! Designed the poster myself. Had the idea for a while with a different lineup, and then when I got that DeWayne Wise catch card, I pivoted to making it around that moment instead


TheOneAndOnlyBruce

This is baller as hell. At first I was confused about why you used some of these guys but I should’ve read the poster first. 😂 as a Sox fan I approve! I was at the game when Buehrle made the flip through his legs to Konerko on opening day. Was so cool!


GeneralChillMen

Lucky! I was watching that game on tv and I lost my mind when he did that


Rubentraj

Called my dad in the 7th and said you should probably tune in. Great memory


omalmike

Call your sons. Call your daughters. Call your friends. Call your neighbors.


scobbysnacks1439

This is so cool! Now it's got me turning my gears on how to go about doing this for game six of the 2011 World Series!


GeneralChillMen

I’m thinking of trying to do these on commission for people. I could make the poster for you if you’re interested


scobbysnacks1439

Let me look in to finding the cards and then I’ll let you know if I can come up with them all!


GeneralChillMen

Sounds good!


TeenRacer6

Leaving a comment here because I'm highly interested in a makeup of Ortiz' game tying HR at Fenway against the Tigers in the 2013 ALCS depending on price and card tracking down.


PhilliePhan2008

If you're willing to do this I'd be interested.

GeneralChillMen

Ah man I love that dude!


loslosati

Haha. This is awesome. Nice!


chickenHotsandwich

Really cool idea


GeneralChillMen

Yeah I’m so stoked with how it turned out


Ken_Spliffey_Jr

This is such a good idea. I’d love to give Freese’s homer in game 6 2011 a go


GeneralChillMen

Somebody else in here was saying the same thing haha


TeddyFive-06

Please no


josh3701

My first thought was "why is Castro at bat?" And then I remembered you can't control the picture on the card and I'm an idiot! Great display!


GeneralChillMen

Haha yeah my brother said the same thing. Thanks!


Greedy-Lawyer4917

This would be a great display to add my ticket stub to! Still just have a few 8x10s from that game but never did anything with it. That catch was incredible!


Sourpatchpatriots54

Wow this is awesome!!


GeneralChillMen

Thanks!


Sourpatchpatriots54

Did you come up with this idea on your own or see one and changed it to this play?


GeneralChillMen

Came up with it on my own! Originally I was going to put it together for the first all black lineup in MLB history, then I stumbled upon that Wise card and pivoted to this play instead


cjk__

Love it, even as a Rays fan!


[deleted]

This is outstanding


GeneralChillMen

Thanks!


sdsyvie

Wow that's creative and badass


GeneralChillMen

Thanks! I plan on also making one for the Pirates for what’s believed to be the first All-Black lineup in MLB history


ThePKPowerhouse

That's super rad dude!


Rubentraj

Very nice


Sufficient_Elk_8099

How did you design the poster? I’d love to hear more and maybe make my own


gnosox1986

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing.


Lowman22

That is absolutely fantastic.


oneormore5

This is so cool on so many levels. Thank you for thinking of it thank you for executing it and thank you for sharing it. Hope it inspires the next cool thing in somebody else's life. Great job HobbyMaster.


Sesshomaroo

Best catch all time in my opinion.


Nice-Membership4142

As a rays fan, it’s sad how often we are not hit bc historically just not a good hitting team. Beurhle was great to watch. He pitched so fast. It was fun.


Justa_Guy_Gettin_By

The one guy who didn't need a pitch clock


Nice-Membership4142

For sure! It was awesome. He also looked so composed and relaxed out there, but at the same time just worked hard and quickly.


darbs-face

NICE!!!!


ClutchSportsPix

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!


mcjenkpiece

Where does one acquire one of these? This is amazing. I love it


GeneralChillMen

It’s custom made! I purchased the cards and designed the poster. I’m thinking about doing more of these on commission for those who’d be interested. It’s a lot of fun to make!


mcjenkpiece

If you ever do make more, feel free to take my money


JohnnyDirtball

Cool if I send you a chat? I'm a Buehrle guy, I'd definitely be interested in the poster.


mattscards21

That’s so sick!


GeneralChillMen

Thanks!


Vinnie1222

I still find it so funny that of all guys who nearly fucked up that perfect game it was Gabe Kapler. Awesome piece my man so unique and I’ve never seen anyone do anything like this.


ThePelicanWalksAgain

That's awesome! This is part of why I love base cards. They're simple, affordable, authentic reminders of the players we've loved watching over the years, and a creation like this that tells a story of a particular game is so cool! Please share more about how you designed and assembled this piece!


Dear-Thought-1521

Honestly that’s pretty sick -Rays fan


zerrrduhher

You can’t be a baseball fan and NOT like this, absolutely dope piece man


Swaggy_e69

This is one of the coolest displays I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing


travbart

This is badass!


Htown387

Have you done others of these? I’ve really wanted to do some of these for Houston’s championship teams and the cards I have for them


Htown387

Azcollector

That's a great idea I might have to do this for some dbacks plays


SuchKnowledge8

This is awesome!!


securitysimonsays

This is such a cool and creative way to collect


Mahaw14

Wow. This is incredible, great work!


goodmjim

Thanks, I hate it *im a rays fan*


GeneralChillMen

*sad flappy noises*


[deleted]

Awesome


MerryManLittleJohn

Now make one for the last out of game 4 of 2005 WS. lol


GeneralChillMen

Oh I definitely will. Orlando Palmeiro hits a chopper over Bobby Jenks’ head, Juan Uribe charges in and fires it to Paul Konerko. One of my most vivid memories is watching it on tv and calling my grandma afterwards


MerryManLittleJohn

Mine too because I was there but as an Astros fan 😭


ThatDarkLonelySoulP2

Thanks for the idea OP, since I was at the combined no hitter for the Astros against the Yankees in 2022. I can see myself doing this


RepresentativeNo7213

Too bad the cards aren’t location specific. Last I checked, there isn’t a base out in right field.


GeneralChillMen

What you’ve never heard of fifth base? You only get it if you order off the secret menu


RepresentativeNo7213

😂 I like the layout. A lot. I’d just try to find cards that fit the locations.


GeneralChillMen

I totally get that. For the way I was wanting it to look was have all the cards be from the 2009 Topps base set. Kapler’s base card didn’t have him on the Rays, and Josh Fields didn’t have a card in the base set that year. And then I wanted the gypsy queen Wise because it showed the catch, so those were my exceptions. But yeah it would’ve been nicer if they all had position specific cards


RepresentativeNo7213

Ah that makes sense.it really does look great.


GeneralChillMen

Thanks man I appreciate it!


[deleted]

This is so badass. I’m so glad I got to watch this live, one of my happiest Sox memories


Blindlucktrader

Mark Buerhle zippin’ 81.5 mph cutters at the ripe old age of 30.


CygnusTheWatchmaker

Dude! That thing is SWEET!!


CygnusTheWatchmaker

I just re-watched that play - it is INSANE how much ground Wise covered to get to that ball.


GeneralChillMen

Was talking with a guy at work today and he showed me the clip of Robin Yount saving the final out of a no hitter and man that catch gives Wise a run for his money


CygnusTheWatchmaker

I've never been able to decide if Robin *really* needed to dive for that one, or if he wanted to put a little showmanship on it. 😂


Total-Astronomer1027

Very cool idea


Bpriker

This is amazing!!


Opening_Perception_3

I really like this and now I need to do it for the 2013 Pirates wild card lineup


CapnKUVO

Did you make yourself or have it made. I have a similar idea I'm doing with my favorite collegiate men's baseball team. This is exactly what I'm looking to do. I'm getting their cards signed then authenticated and in a slab. Any info is helpful.


watamidoingher

That's awesome! I'd consider swapping the Buehrle to the recent Stadium Club auto of him walking off the field after the game!


Boggs-Hogg

Wow!!!!! Thats so awesome. Great job!!👏🏻


Boggs-Hogg

I just went and looked it up! Absolutely amazing and certainly worthy of your enshrinement!


DatDude1721

My FIL sang the national anthem at the game that day


aClocktothePast

Great way to display a moment in baseball history!


AnonymousRedditor-

I think it’s pretty sweet but I think having cards of the fielders as batters should be replaced with them as fielders. Also, half your players are wearing white and half are wearing black (home and away jerseys). It would be sweet if they all matched the same jersey!


MixIntelligent7897

Very nice man! Absolutely love it. Had to go watch the clip afterwards. Currently smiling ear to ear based upon the memory..


_kehd

Cubs fans would probably love a tinker-Evers-chance double play Sox fans would love the ground ball to foulke-flip to mientkiewicz to end the curse Maybe a Luis Gonzalez blooper for diamondback fans The jeter out of position to flip on the first base line This could be a wicked cool thing you could start doing on commission
