2015 Shipped!

All the chatter on Facebook tells me that the 2015 sets have shipped!  I really want to take a close look at the Royals team and run them out on the field against a few teams I know how to play well: 1919 White Sox, 1977 Twins, 2006 Twins, and the 1908 Cubs. I will be playing the 2015 Royals in the TCABT in the spring and will review the team in detail in a few weeks.  Complete info on the TCABT tournament here.

I also had the opportunity to buy a single team in a deal constructed on Facebook.  Doug Chapin offered to buy a new set and sell individual teams; I jumped on the Twins so I can add that to my incomplete collection of Twins teams.

To date I have the following Twins team sets:

1962
1965 (a great team, Killer's power is a bit spotty)
1966
1967 (another solid Twins team)
1973
1975
1976
1977 (A great team and I will play them in a tournament sooner rather than later)
1978 (Hometown boy Goltz's best year)
1979
1981
1982
1983
1984
1985
1986
1989
1991 (yep, much fun to manage these guys)
1997
1998
2000
2002
2003
2004
2005
2006 (the best Twins team on paper)
2007 (in the mail as I type this)
2008
2009
2010
2013
2015 (also in the mail as I type this)

I really need to secure the 1969 Twins as I have committed to playing that team in the Prairieland tournament in April.
