Living the Dream

A few weeks ago, bloggers around the card collecting blogosphere were busy writing about their Favorite Card of 2018 for P-town Tom's contest.  I confessed to all of my readers that I was hankering for a BJ.  Well I found one on the internet and it was very satisfying.

 Feast your eyes on the latest addition to my Archives Fan Favorites autograph collection:

2018 Topps Archives Fan Favorites Autograph #FFA-BJ

 BJ and I have a lot in common.


We both love baseball, looking at statistics, and writing.  These three passions have turned him into one of the most famous baseball statisticians out there.  Me?  Well... it's turned me into a card collector who has a blog.  See.  We're both living the dream!

 Okay... it's your turn.
What are three things you're passionate about?

 Happy Tuesday and sayonara!

    Hmmm...wasn't that long ago that sports would have been on my list but I find myself less enthused about following games as time goes by. Now I'd say, family life, the hobby and music.

    I'm passionate about doing the right thing and being happy about it, family, and baseball cards.

    Among my passions besides my family and faith, are baseball, reading, and card collecting.

    Besides my family and faith, I would say baseball/baseball cards, making customs of cards that Topps missed to complete their sets, and playing the piano/writing music/music theory (sorry, I just couldn’t narrow it to 3, so I combined a few).

    I'm going to make it a little general with my answer... I'll say the Browns, music (both listening to it, and singing in my choir), and gaming (board games, cards, and role-playing games).

    Sweet card!

    1. Making a difference in the lives of our youth (through math and life lessons)
    2. Baseball
    3. Doing the right thing
    Good question... and congrats on the win from the contest!

    This isn't answering your question, but I'm reading a Bill James book right now "Whatever Happened to the Hall of Fame?" which I am finding to be quite a fun read. A nice mixture of the History of the Hall itself, some of the early voting methods, and a fair amount of comparisons between players.

    First off, I am a big fan of Bill James, math, and statistics. I have looked at his autographs before, think he might have been in Ginter too, but I need to follow through and get one of these.

    What things am I passionate about:

    1. Family
    2. The kids I teach/have taught at school
    3. Self-improvement
    4. Baseball/Baseball Cards

    Very nice pickup! I'm glad you finally got the card. I think my three are similar to others: family, reading/research, and baseball.

    1.) The stories I'm attempting to write (one space opera, one epic fantasy, both isekai, because I have a sickness 😂).
    2.) Original art. Both my own and what I collect (sketch cards and larger pinups).
    3.) Making the world a safer place for trans/gender nonconforming/intersex/etc people.

    One and two can also be deployed in service of three.
