#1: Anne Frank collected images of movie stars torn from magazines and decorated her bedroom walls with them.

Ginger Rogers was one of those movie stars.
#2: It took 7,444 games for a San Diego Padres hitter to hit for the cycle.

On August 14, 2015, Matt Kemp finally ended the drought with a triple in the 9th inning against the Colorado Rockies. Now the franchise is looking for their first no-hitter.
It started back in March, but the end of the road is in sight. Thank you Rod for opening up your collection and offering up cards to your readers. I promise to give Ginger and Matt a warm and loving home.
Happy Monday and sayonara!

I would love to see Joey Lucchesi pick up a no-no. He doesn't pitch deep into games, so maybe a combined no-no.
Completely forgot Matt Kemp hit for the cycle with the Pads. Great not-so-random fact!
Rod has had some great stuff up for grabs. I miss Matt Kemp.
Ginger Rogers was just flat-out beautiful. Nice card!
me too!
I was fortunate to snag a few cards from Rod, giving is so great!
No no-hitters from San Diego? Crazy. Cool cards.
Great Ginger Rogers card. My wife and I love this scene:

I wish I had a drop of Anne Frank's courage.
Will the Padres pitch a no-hitter or win the World Series first?
the snorting bull - at this point i'd settle for a 9 pitcher combined no-no. but if i had to pull for a specific pitcher... i'd go with paddack
alex markle - actually comatoad's blog was the inspiration. he wrote about it the day before. but when i think of kemp as a padre, the cycle is the first thing that comes to mind.
gcrl - lol. i actually liked him more when he was with the dodgers. i think as a padres fan, i was hoping for more production. at least it didn't cost them too much.
commishbob - yeah. very easy on the eyes
johnnys trading spot - you guys have definitely been helping keep the postal service running
sumomenkoman - yeah. 50 years and not a single no-hitter. nolan ryan had seven in twenty-something years? even the marlins have five or six. it's kind of embarrassing
hackenbush - wow. those two could dance. and i totally agree with you in regards to anne frank and her family.
peter k steinberg - no-hitter first... then a world series title. both will take place in 2021 ;)
