Type Site: Project Baseball 1976

Each day brings new writers and projects to the baseball interwebs, some of which deserve special note...and not just (cough) because they follow my #5 type collection.

Arizona-based card blogger MattR started Project Baseball 1976 in March 2009 with the goal to collect, display, and describe each card from the eponymous Topps set. It started with #1, Hank Aaron's lifetime RBI record breaker and continues daily like a heady, unstoppable wave of nostalgia. A hearty salute to the research and detail that goes into each entry; my favorite's #103, Biff Pocoroba, for 2 reasons.

1. Biff is the man's given name, surely a gateway to pro sports or casino management.
2. His hair in 1976's picture looks just like mine did, perpetually flaring out like a sideways wind tunnel. BLAME THE 70s.
3. BONUS: Knowing that MattR's dad also went by "Biff" as a kid.

As of June 16, the blog's wantlist is down to just a few for the complete set. Help him out with a card or two and you'll achieve online immortality--and what can compare to that?
