Discovery Plaza is the 1000 square foot forecourt leading to the Card Cyber Museum - a daily exhibition of 60 sports cards waiting to be discovered beneath your feet! Inspired by the forecourt of the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, where celebrities leave their handprints in concrete, our Plaza features digital frames embedded in the ground - beneath bulletproof glass. Each day brings a new rotation of cards showcasing the incredible sets found within the museum.

Inside his zany, artsy habitat, Pee-Wee joked and horsed around with an assortment of humans and anthropomorphic objects, including Captain Carl, Jambi the Genie, Miss Yvonne, Pterri t...

Pitchers should never take their full windup with runners on first and second. With runners in these positions, take several looks in their direction to warn them not to take liberties, even throwing once or twice, and then deliver the ball to the batter with a single arm motion. A veteran pitcher like Red Lucas of Cincinnati, will sometimes take a windup with a man on third base, but is always...

He came back to the big league and made good. Joined the Chicago Cubs in 1932, when the team was fighting for a pennant and his hits helped to put it over. Used to play with the New York Yankees, then served with Detroit for a couple of years, but was sent back to the minors. Played with Mission in the Pacific Coast League and when the Cubs needed a good infielder they bought him. Hit .353 last...

As he took his lead off first base on July 23, 2023, Jeremy Pena thought it might be a good idea to test the arm of the rookie catcher behind the dish. He soon thought otherwise.

Ready for the big time, Bo and John moved to Marina Del Rey and Lake Powell. At this time the classic "10" was filmed.

They call "Al" Milnar "Happy", and there's no reason why the Cleveland Indian southpaw shouldn't be, unless it's the fact that the Indians failed to win the pennant in 1940. Milnar was one of the outstanding hurlers in the American League last year, blossoming forth with 18 wins against only 10 losses in what was really his second full season in the majors. Milnar finished 15 of the 33 games he...

One of the greatest second basemen in the his- tory of baseball. He also ranked with the greatest hitters, and was the most graceful infielder ever to spear a grounder or toss out a runner bound for first base. Larry hit above .300 for 15 years in the National and American Leagues, and that was long before the lively ball was introduced. At end of 1901 season he had batted an average of .405, a...

Savvy is what Rod Seiling has got, and while he's not the flashy type, he gets the job done... and well.

Signed off Tampa Bay's practice squad in 1999, Autry became a key performer in third-down situations for the 2000 Dolphins. Unlike many third-down backs in the NFL who are receiving specialists, Denson is an equal threat running or catching the ball. He had his best game of the season in a critical 17-14 victory against the Indianapolis Colts that helped the Dolphins to the AFC East title last ...

Joe Heving, who pitched as a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox last year, had the best percentage as far as wins and losses are concerned, having won 9 games, and lost only 2 for the entire season.
