    Today is FCB's 6th birthday

    Birthday Cheers to FCB!! I think I was here close to day 1, not around as much due to family and work obligations but still a great place to talk baseball and share in this great hobby!

    MLB Lifetime Membership Gold Card

    Those are beautiful- I also think I remember seeing Ted Williams' pass (don't think it was gold though) in Hunt's auctions. Sent from my LG-D415 using Freedom Card Board mobile app

    A little goofy but I had a 2 HR day at Fenway today.......

    ....so scored an invite to the big WB Mason Consumer Show at Fenway today and then a special invite to play softball on the field. Now the set-up for the game was a little goofy (home plate in RF corner, 20+ on each team, no catchers) but the facts stand that I hit 2 home runs today, one over...

    Authors. Writers. Literary Figures.

    All is great up north- not all that thrilled with the Lester trade but guessing it pales to how you feel about losing Price. I'll have to see what I have for doubles as well. The Hiassen is a real sloppy signature compared to his full signature. I really need to take a full inventory of my...

    Authors. Writers. Literary Figures.

    .....nice, now you can wheel-and-deal again!! I think you sent me an Emeril and Jane Fonda for the Mortenson. My .79 find which I posted last week in the sports thrift post is- "Found a signed Reggie White biography today "In the Trenches," for $.79 at my local SA. Also signed by two others-...

    My National Experience...A Quarter Century in the Making!! SCANS ADDED!!

    Yabba dabba doo!!! Awesome write-ups and so glad for you Mike!! I think the prices you paid were reasonable. As mrmopar said, you could get a Jackie GPC for less, but if you were happy with what you got than you should not look back. Can't wait to see pics of your haul. The whole experience...

    If the Red Sox trade Lester...

    The Sox have so badly botched this situation. I think most fans will be quite pissed if they do trade him. I actually thought this ownership "got it." Given their resources and the crazy money in the game he should have been locked up following last year's Series. Sent from my LG-D415 using...

    Hall of Fame cuts eligibility on ballot from 15 to 10 years. Bad news for Bonds, McGwire, etc.

    Belle did not play 12 seasons- he played 10 + 2 partial (those are his 162 game averages). Had he averaged 40HRs and 130 RBIs for 12 years he would have 480/1560 and that would put him in the top 25-30 for HRs and top 40 for RBI's. I think those numbers would have merited serious consideration...

    The Thrift Store Thread - Sports Edition

    Found a signed Reggie White biography today "In the Trenches," for $.79 at my local SA. Also signed by two others- Gary Bauer and Fred Barnes, both right-wing pro-lifers. Guessing they were all at a religious event. Dust jacket not in great shape but Reggie's auto is in bold black sharpie.

    Ridiculous Dick Porter Acquisition - 1933 Who's Who in Baseball Book...player owned copy

    My heart would have been racing and my hands would have been shaking as I hit the BIN. Bet that is a great read, not just Porter's bio. Congrats!!!
