He was a Mariners fan and did not like LA. For a few years after that set he gave a dodger the card number 666 in the set. <br /><br />I personally don't mind the Dodgers, but I read this, and thought it was funny, and thought you'd think it was interesting.roddsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901360046253476685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-4741404673134070292011-01-11T03:17:24.704-05:002011-01-11T03:17:24.704-05:00The problem with brackets or advancing rounds is y...The problem with brackets or advancing rounds is you eventually run into multiple cards that deserve to win.

Too bad you don't have a loser's bracket (or "wrestle-backs" as it's called here in the Midwest).

I remeber that Ozzie Smith one from about a week ago.

When I go to a ballgame I dont thake face shots. I usually try to get the player in the act of throwing or something so that I get some face in the shot but I also get his name or jersy number. I figure in 10 years I may not remember what every player looked like but I can figure out who they are if I can see their name/number.AdamEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107347958456472504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-16055814279743239732011-01-10T09:00:48.985-05:002011-01-10T09:00:48.985-05:00The 81 All Star game is the best looking of these ...The 81 All Star game is the best looking of these night cards.
