THE Kyren Paris thread!!! Heeey Jo!

I imagine this will end like a Sam Horn thread would've ended in the late '80s - with digital cobwebs and really cheap cards - but let's take a moment to just enjoy a kid who is absolutely tearing the cover off the ball while providing a much-needed boost to a fanbase that has managed to squander the entire career of Mike Trout & latter day Pujols while cultivating and subsequently losing the modern day Babe Ruth to a team across town.

Peak Kyren Paris is what many of us expected Jo Adell to be.

It’s a fun moment and I’d love to see him lead the Angels to the playoffs this year. I picked up this one recently…

He changed his swing this winter working with the guys who are disciples of Judge's coach.

Worked hard all winter. Has been raking ever since.

I bought his 2024 Black and Independence Parallels, don't have pics yet but will post when I do.

I'm in the fan club.

Always fun when one of my penny stocks breaks out. Had given up all hope after last season. Now I gotta figure out if I sell them all raw or send to PSA.

Smart move. I don't personally collect Bowman 1st autos, but I was thinking about grabbing some based on his offseason swing transformation.

Some Kyren cards

Started: 13 for 31, .419/.514/1.000

Since: 2 for 26, .083/.154/.083

Been trying to figure out if I'm a believer or not, and those extreme splits are not helping!

Hope he shakes it off though, the Angels need it
