I thought I had answered this already, but I guess I never hit publish.<br /><br />After checking shelves there were a bunch that didn't resemble the player they were suppose to be. But the one that stood out was the 1998 Kobe Bryant, because by 1998 they had already started improving the head sculptures... but they totally missed on Kobe.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-15139314766101579392012-07-27T21:09:10.237-07:002012-07-27T21:09:10.237-07:00Here's the answer you seek:

I'll be loyal to them as long as they're in the MLB.<br /><br />As for cheering for the Giants... I actually did cheer for them in 2010. However, I didn't root for them in 2002. I've mellowed out with age. There was a time when I really disliked the Giants. I still won't cheer them on unless:<br /><br />A. A Giants win will help the A's or Padres.<br /><br />B. The Giants are in the playoffs and the A's and/or the Padres are not.<br /><br />C. History is in the making.

I forgot who said it, but I'm pretty sure someone was taking a shot at Da Cubs.<br /><br />As for the real question... wow that's a hard one. I'd like to meet both of them for different reasons.<br /><br />I'd love to ask Kurt Suzuki if he remembers my cousin from H/S... and then tell him we share the same middle name.<br /><br />But if I had to choose between the two, I'd have to go with Gwynn. #19 is the reason I'm a Padres fan. He was loyal to the Padres for 20 years and was my favorite player for eighteen of them (since 1984). I can't even think of any questions I'd ask him, but I know for sure I'd love to be able to thank him for sticking with the Padres when he easily could have left for more money.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-10714243325336874362012-07-27T10:08:21.112-07:002012-07-27T10:08:21.112-07:00Ouch... out of respect to Mets fans, I'll go w...Ouch... out of respect to Mets fans, I'll go with the kerosene.

I just never thought they'd pull it off with Eli Manning (again). I would have bet on Green Bay or New Orleans... any day of the week.<br /><br />Speaking of Green Bay... I was happy, but I'm sure they surprised a lot of people the year before.<br /><br />I also remember I was shocked when the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Yankees a few years back... and of course the Arizona Cardinals, when they beat the Steelers.<br /><br />And finally and I'm a little biased... BUT I was totally floored when the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Oakland A's in 1988.

Now, before people start giving me a hard time, let me explain.<br /><br />I love watching football on television. I e watching hockey at the arena. I enjoy playing a pickup game of basketball with my students. And I'm trying to put together a staff softball team at my school.<br /><br />But the sport I love to play and would love to get paid to do it is golf. Plus you don't have to worry about 100mph fastballs/pucks to the dome, elbows to the nose, or a 250lb linebacker lighting you up.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-22325541647677445302012-07-26T06:37:54.256-07:002012-07-26T06:37:54.256-07:00Damn...

You'd be surprised at how popular they are. I usually give them out to students who do random acts of kindness or something particularly special... and as soon as I do, you should see how kindness starts spreading around the classroom.<br /><br />Every now and then, I see them on the front cover of their binder... and I feel like a celebrity ;-)<br /><br />I'm planning on creating a new one as soon as my inventory runs out... with me either dressed up as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or as Russel from Up.<br /><br />In terms of most valuable... probably $10 to $20 book value. I've given out a ton of 49ers, Giants, A's, Warriors, and Sharks autographs as prizes.
