...To Chance!

 Here's one I've been after for a while.

This is a relic card of the first baseman and manager of the two-time world champ Cubs.  It completes a set for me.

  

I've had relic cards of Tinker and Ever for years.  I couldn't find a Chance card when I picked these up.  I was pretty sure that there wasn't one made for him or if there was, it was outrageously expensive.  I had given up on the idea of completing are relic run for the famed double-play trio.

I recent browsing trip at Ebay led me to the card above.  It's from Panini's 2018 National Treasures.  It wasn't ridiculously priced, especially for a relic from a HOFer that played over 110 years ago.  I've won it in an auction and now have the relic run completed.

These are the saddest of possible words:

to

Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds, 

Tinker and Evers and Chance. 

Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble, 

Making a Giant hit into a double – 

Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble: 

"Tinker to Evers to Chance."
