Shields. A pitcher who will live in eternal mockery. Imagine how he felt watching that ball. He needs to demand a trade because the Padres clubhouse is just going to be brutal on him for a long, long time.

Amazing. Love watching Bartolo. And what a shame that Shields has been so mediocre since moving to SD.

I think that's really cool. It has sold way more than even the Arrieta no hitter one.

Don't really associate baseball card companies with innovation, but that's a pretty neat thing they've got going.

What an "athlete" he is. Read an article a few seasons back that Shields gave himself that nickname. If true, then I am glad that Colon hit it off him.
