I love the old Carlin sketch about football vs. baseball,
though baseball was the only sport I liked.

ichiro suzuki will get to 200 hits again this season, making it his 7th such?
if he still has the wheels to leg out about 30-40.

what? 30 to 40 short of 200? yeah right!

Shit. I'm so out of baseball now.
I really wish I could enjoy it again.

Last time I was at a game, photographing for promo work, I caught a foul ball in the stomach. It hit me so hard, it left little compression cuts from the stitches in the ball, right through my T-shirt. I had to sit down for a couple of pitches.

Just as long as he doesn't get any hits against the Angels.

That must have hurt. I was always frightened of being along the foul lines for this very
reason. The one reason that I'd bring a glove to every game. I didn't care if I'd catch
a ball, I just didn't want to get hit.

Back when I was in the little league, I was pretty well known for "taking one for the team."
They tried to cure me of this - ended up hitting me pretty hard in the gut (though I'm sure
not anywhere near as hard as a foul ball); dropped me. Had to learn how to bunt after this.

Oh, yeah! It surprised the hell out of me. I've been hit a few times, photographing our local mnor league team, the Indians, but never like that. I usually kept my concentration on the game better than that, but the mascot had been fucking with me (for a laugh) and the player I needed to photograph was trying to steal third, right in front of me. I could not miss that.

*can't breathe - exhale only - no inhale*

It was actually a cool job. I got thirty dollars an hour to photograph a game and an additional one hundred fifty for each shot they published. I had seven shots published one afternoon. Not a bad day of work for a shutterbug.

If you don't mind being molested by mascots
and taking an occasional foul.

he will still leg out some of those numbers, but does he have the wheels to leg them all out?

the cal ripkens i bought at a show in 1983 for about fifty cents each.

i bought the ryan for about forty bucks.

i traded for the rest.  i also have a johnnie and several george bretts.

from 1975 through about 1989 i would get a 1/2 case of baseball cards for a birthday gift from my grandpa.
a 1/2 case is 12 boxes of baseball cards with 36 packs in each box, 12-15 cards per pack.

and i would go to shows and speculate on prospects.

i wasted good money on about 100 jose conseco's.

Yeah, plus I inherited some
(though only in fair condition)

Still, it's not a huge collection. Probably
just sell it all together, rather than try
and squeeze maximum value out.
