An awesome eBay purchase, thanks Crawford Cards!

Hey guys, Drew back here. Yesterday I got more mail, but I had to study for a science test and play dodgeball so I held it off until today. I've been extremely busy lately, so please bare with me here and throughout the school year. Anyway, this auction was brought to my attention by Paul from Carl Crawford Cards. He sent me an email after I requested Al Hammell cards, to an eBay auction featuring his card. It cost 10 bucks shipped for the 30 card lot featuring Preston Wilson and Ron Washington as the manager. Pretty horrible price for the lot but OK. I did some work bringing up Halloween decorations and she said she'd get it for me. So, now I have this set of like 25 no names that I really would love to make a bonfire out of, but I do have these:

Thanks dude for showing me this, I now have a baseball card of my teacher!

I'll have the trivia answers tonight

Just a random update...

Hey guys, Drew back here, as you may have noticed, I haven't posted an overload of stuff lately. Last month I posted 66 times, and this month I have 50 posts, with 3 days left. I've definitely been around, especially working out trades and e-mailing some bloggers. But I have still been busy. Here is whats going on lately:

Well to start last week and this week I have been going to "Al Hammell Baseball Camp" as a C.I.T. This week the camp is at Dutchess Stadium, where the Hudson Valley Renegades play. It has been a lot of work, especially because each week had 1 C.I.T. that did no work at all. Well, included in the price we pay to be slaves for him, are tickets to last nights game against the Staten Island Yankees. There was some bad weather, so we only stayed a couple innings. After e-mailing Ross from Sport Card Info., I found out that there were no big name players on either team. C'mon, I'm not missing out on another Longoria or Josh Hamilton! In the pregame though, we got to go on the field for a little ceremony thing, and a couple pitchers (relief I assume) were standing there, and I had a fat Sharpie in my pocket and a useless camp hat, so this is what I did:

If you have a problem with counting, you may not know that there are 3 autographs on that hat. One is Glenn Gibson, one is Aaron Dott, and one is Kyle Ayers. All 3 are pitchers, and you can see more about them on the links. Glenn Gibson is the son of former Yankee pitcher Paul Gibson, and apparantly Dott pitched a no-hitter against the Green Bay Bullfrogs on June 17th, 2008. Huh, interesting stuff there, although they probably all won't make it anywhere.

So, before I say bye bye for now, I want to promote the future 2009 Album of the Year:

Daughtry: "Leave This Town" CD
This album is great, almost every song is hard rock upbeat, please check this out if you are interested in this type of music, it's just plain awesome.

Also, I started working on the Top 50 Greatest Artist list, and that should start sometime next week on my other blog. See Ya!

I'm Back! Again!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while. Here's what I did while I was gone:

- I went to Old Timers Day yesterday and had a blast. The new Yankee Stadium is beautiful, and I can't wait to post some pictures and videos!

- I started up my new e-mail and finished off a trade with foul bunt, should be coming soon.

- I am going to former minor leaguer Al Hammell's, who was my 6th grade science teachers, baseball camp as a C.I.T. (Counselor in Training). My parents are spending money to get me out of the class and do labor for my former science teacher. That's just plain cruelty!

Anyway, I'm glad to be back, especially seeing all the red ink autos out of Ginter! (here and here) I know for a fact that Gint-A-Cuffs champ will not be me, so I'm planning to have fun with it.

Another fun project I've been thinking about lately is making a blog with a top 100 countdown of the most influencial musicians since around 1940 or so. So, please, when I get to that (IF I get to that I should say), please check that out and see where your favorite pans out.

So, packs 15 & 16 for Gint-A-Cuffs are coming up next. I'm going to my sister's swim lessons later so I will do the next 2 packs there with Joemama. See Ya!
