Card Show in San Francisco Part II

This is Part II of my blog about purchases of cards from this past weekend at the card show in San Francisco.  I arrived in San Francisco on Thursday afternoon.  The weather was nice so I took a trip to the ocean and visited Baker Beach.  It was a sunny and warm day, well it least for the coast of Northern California, and there were a lot of people out enjoying the day. 

Here are a couple of pictures I took while I was there.

 

 

What a sweet day in the city by the bay.

Billy Hamilton cards

I was looking thru some 2012 Panini Cooperstown cards and came across a card of the Billy Hamilton.  I didn’t know who he was but the back of this card said that “Sliding Billy Hamilton set the all-time record by scoring 198 runs (in just 137 games) with Philadelphia in 1894, a mark that only Babe Ruth has sniffed since with 177 in 1921.  He won two batting titles, and finished first in steals five times, including four season with 100- plus.  Hamilton ranks fourth all-time in on-base percentage (.455) and seventh in batting (.344).  In 1892, he turned the rare trick of hitting a leadoff and a walkoff homers in the same game.”  Billy Hamilton was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1961.

The present day Billy Hamilton first full year in the major leagues was last year when he stole 56 bases, finishing second in the National League to Dodgers Dee Gordon.  Hamilton did lead the league in being caught stealing when he was thrown out 23 times.  On June 15, 2014, in the Reds 13-4 win over the Brewers, Hamilton hit a leadoff home run.  I was able to get his 2013 Topps Finest Sterling card.
