2017mfc SH-Bruce Smacks 2, drives in 5!

Jay Bruce beat the Phillies Wednesday night all by himself. Bruce homered twice and drove in five runs, including a tiebreaking shot in the eighth inning that gave the New York Mets to a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies and halted their four-game losing streak Wednesday night. 

This was Bruce's second multi-homer game of the season and the 22nd of his career. After slumping badly when he arrived in New York from Cincinnati at the trade deadline last year, Bruce is batting .309 with six homers and 14 RBIs in 14 games for the Mets this season. Bruce matched his career high with five RBIs and nearly had another - Cespedes was thrown out at the plate after running through a stop sign at third base on Bruce's first-inning double.

Back in the clubhouse following his latest clutch performance, the three-time All-Star was in full royal garb, wearing a crown and robe awarded to the team's king of the game.

''It's silk. They give it to me, I'll wear it,'' Bruce said.

2017mfcHIGHLIGHT CARD- THE BRUCE IS LOOSE!

If Jay Bruce is going to hit like Jay Bruce this season we are in for a treat.

Bruce has three home runs in his last two games, two in last nights game against the Phils.

Jay has four long balls already this season. I'd love to see 30 plus from Bruce, and he may be well on his way.

One card for each kaBOOM! 

Okay Mr. Bruce, I now officially consider you  a Metropolitan. 

2017mfc•Cespedes-card back!

This is the back of Cespedes 2017 mfc card.

 I'm not sure if all the card backs will be based on the 84t design. I chose that here because it's one of my favorites. I might stick with it, might switch it up a bit. If I do go with more than one design from the past I imagine they'll all be pre-1990. They seem more baseball cardish to me.

So I guess there will be a card number followed by the players uniform number. I just make it up as I go along. Only Mets stats, to keep it as simple as possible (Wright & Reyes are gonna be a bitch though, lol). Also, only player cards will have facsimile backs, not season highlight cards. 

I'd like to make a limited amount of the 2017 Mets player cards (the set will consist of 55 cards) available for purchase to Mets fans and card collectors through this blog if there is enough interest.
