No More Pie for me, thank you!

Saturday afternoon I dropped by the LCS and picked up six packs of American Pie, 4 to open and 2 to put away for Christmas and my birthday.  Out of the 4 packs that I opened these are the best cards I got.  Many of the cards were of no one and celebrated nothing.  I got a card for the date that some computer determined was the most boring day ever, sorry if you were born April 11, 1954. 

Bing Crosby is a distant cousin on my Dad's side of the family so I am always looking for things of him.  I remember someone saying their wife really liked Lucille Ball.  Who doesn't like Rudolph (other than all the other reindeer.  The Hitchcock (you can see him if you squint, use a microscope and look at the lower right corner) manu patch is numbered 4/25.  I will probably put it on eBay unless one of you wants to trade for it.    The Johnny Cash and Richard Pryor Walk of Fame cards are pretty cool.  I am going to keep Johnny, but Mr. Pryor is available for trade.  Also if you are trying to build the set let me know and I will send you my singles.

General and His Troops

 General Manager Josh Byrnes returned this 2011 Padrographs card in just about a week and a half.  Josh is the ninth General Manager the Padres have had since 1969 and I realized that I have signed cards of three of them, Buzzie Bavasi, Jed Hoyer and Josh Byrnes.  I went to wikipedia and I actually have signatures on cards of five of the GM's, cause I also have Jack McKeon and Keving Towers.  I am going to see if I can get signatures of the other four, Peter Bavasi, Bob Fontaine, Joe McIlvaine and Randy Smith. 

 I bought this Cory Spangenberg card from this years Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects off of eBay.  He was the first round draft pick of the Padres, 10th overall, of the Padres this in 2011.  He was playing at a college where they used wooden bats, so he has that year of experience.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him in Petco Park this year, as bad as I think the Padres will be. 
I bought this Jason Hagerty over at eBay.  Jason was picked in the fifth round of the 2009 draft.  He has worked up to AA San Antonio.

How I Spent My Sunday Afternoon

On Sunday afternoon while most people were watching football or napping, or bemoaning Ryan Braun,  I got to do something completely different.  The Multnomah County Library is hosting an exhibit called Pride and Passion about Negro League Baseball.  Part of the exhibit was a panel about different perspectives on baseball.  We had hoped to have Artie Wilson be part of the panel, but he passed away before the exhibit got to Portland.  I helped put the panel together and today I got to meet all of these people and introduce them to the people attending.  It was so much fun, and I got to show them around the exhibit at the library also.  We took a picture during the discussion and had them all sign a couple of copies.  From left to right, Lois Youngen, she played for the Fort Wayne Daisys and a couple of other teams in the All American Girls Baseball League.  She got a degree in PE  and went on and taught for 36 years at the University of Oregon and drove up to Portland to see a former student (who taught at my high school) and take part in the panel. She talked about how she learned to play baseball, her Dad was a pitcher and she caught him and when she played with the neighborhood boys, they gave her the choice of playing right field or catcher.  She chose catcher so she could really be in the game. She is now President of the All American Girls Baseball Players Association.   Next to her is Jack Cain, the only person in the room to have a bobble head made of them. Jack has always been a big fan of baseball, I consider him a Northwest baseball icon.  He bought a minor league team in Bend, Oregon that became the Bend Rockies in 1991.  The first Rockies game ever played was in Bend two years before the Colorado Rockies began play, 10 players from that team have now played in the majors.  The team moved to Portland in 1995 when the Beavers moved to Salt Lake City, in 2001 a new franchise moved in called the Beavers and Jack was a senior adviser to the team until the politicians in Portland couldn't figure out how to keep the team here after the 2010 season.   He had some great stories about some of the players he had encountered.  In the center is Drew Mahalic, who moderated the panel.  Drew played in the NFL for 5 years with the Chargers and Eagles, and now is the CEO of the Oregon Sports Authority, which has helped bring several major sports events to Oregon, including part of the 2012 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament to Portland.  His son Joey was drafted by the Indians and played in 2011 at Kinston and Lake County.  Second from the right is Kerry Eggers, sportswriter from the Portland Tribune, he had some good insights on why football has surpassed baseball in popularity.  Last is Darcy Fast, who pitched for the Cubs in 1968, should have pitched for them in 1969, but the Army wouldn't let him report to camp, because they might have shipped him to Vietnam.  After that he heard a higher calling and became a pastor in Centralia, WA for 30 years.  He recently retired and is now President of the Phoenix, AZ chapter of the Major League Alumni Association.  He has homes in Centralia and Phoenix.  He had some great stories about the '68 Cubs and getting to play with 4 Hall of Famers, Ferguson Jenkins, Billy Williams, Ron Santo and Ernie Banks.  He told a story about Ernie Banks giving him the keys to his car to use in Chicago, when Darcy went out to the car, all the people couldn't figure out who the young white guy was getting into Mr. Cubs car.  Darcy said Ernie did this to many rookies so that he could get away with out being mobbed by the fans.  Like Jack Cain said when I thanked him for coming, he said anytime someone asked him to come talk about baseball for a couple of hours he would be there.   I would have to agree with him and I had a great time listening to all of them and getting to meet them and interact with them.

I agonized over this one

I am running a giveaway and it was ok when I was sending out cards I could send them pretty cheap.  Then last night I mailed out a few of the action figure give a ways and it cost me $40.  I am not poor, but not the 1% either.  Since I am calling it a giveaway, I really agonized over asking for help, but I can't afford to keep spending that kind of money every week.  If you want to help you can send a few dollars through paypal to captain america 1957 at msn dot com.  If I have offended anyone I am sorry.  I want to keep moving stuff out but it is more expensive than I thought.  I would rather you guys have the stuff than just dumping it at a Goodwill donation site.

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was an American singer-songwriter, actor,[2] and author,[2] who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.[3] Although he is primarily remembered as a country music artist, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Late in his career, Cash covered songs by several rock artists.
