Kenji's Korner

I picked up this Kenji  30 card lot with dupes so except for the Co-Signers ,I have doubles of  everything you see here.So if anyone needs a couple of  Kenji's  ,I have them and they're yours :)    

This pose never gets old. 

Love this card!

New Kenji's!

I got these In the mail today.A couple stacks of Kenji cards  that i'll be going over in my next "Kenjis Korner" post.Stay tuned !

Once again,I'm back with more Kenji goodness!The Fleer Traditions,Allen & Ginter and Upper Deck i had ,just hadn't posted about them yet.The remaining three I just received from ebay.

I remember getting these sepia cards and thinking they were pretty cool.2006 Fleer Tradition would be  the first packs I ripped after a hiatus that dated back to my childhood.I began collecting again mostly because of  Prince Fielder.This was his rookie year.Plus the Mets were pretty good around this time as well.

That backdrop looks like a little league field.Great sunset,though.

Serial Numbered

I didn't even know these were  serial numbered when I picked them up on ebay. I just thought they were all great looking cards.

Once again,MLB's best Japanese born hitting katcher,Kenji Johjima!He may be gone from the states and MLB,but I'll see to It that he Is not forgotten ;)

A kouple of Kenji's from the small yet growing Kollection!

Remember when I mentioned how much I loved Kenji's trademark pose on most of his earlier released baseball kards?Well here are a kouple more examples!Kenji kould have killed the league had he remained healthy and In the states a little longer.I'm konvinced of It!

Johjima was a player I had intended on collecting a lot of back In 06 when the Major's first Japanese born catcher broke Into the league. Kenji had a great line his first year In Seattle ,batting .291 with 18 HR and 76 RBI.The next year his numbers would slip a bit ,but not drastically.In '08 and '09 Johjima began to loose playing time ,ultimately leading to his departure from  MLB. In 2010 , Kenji Johjima would head back to his native Japan,signing on with the Hanshin Tigers ,smacking 28 HR  while driving In 91.I wish things would have worked out for Kenji here In the states.With only a few MLB years worth of cards under his belt,collecting most of them shouldn't be too hard. Kenji's Korner will pay homage to the Major Leagues first Japanese born catcher ,highlighting every Johjima card In my collection.Here he Is pictured In what seemed to be his trademark pose and one I'm really fond of,down on one knee with an outstretched arm,pointing off into the distance.
