I was a huge Griffey fan so I've got to agree with The Junior Junkie and say 24, 30, and 3. defgav can also add Paul Goldschmidt to his list of famous 44's. 2001 will always be a memorable year for me because of 9/11 and the D-Backs winning the World Series.

That's a...Congratulations on 1,000 posts, Fuji! That's an awesome accomplishment and I certainly appreciate your posts. You're one of the many card bloggers that keep me checking in regularly as well as staying active and collecting in our great hobby. I can definitely relate to your points B, C, and D: <br />B. I love watching sports and supporting my favorite teams.<br />C. It's a hobby that keeps me connected to my childhood.<br />D. Flipping through a stack of cards or a random binder relaxes me and takes me to a better place.<br />Just last night, while watching the Padres-Nationals game I took down off the shelf my Gwynn and Padres team sets binders to flip through while watching. It'd been too long and it was thoroughly enjoyable to slowly flip through the binders. <br /><br />BTW, my blog was hacked and lost a while back which is why I'd been MIA. After the frustration wore off, I've relaunched (on Wordpress). Check my new site out when you can and I look forward to trading with you again, soon. And, I think you might like my second Gwynn Pentafecta put together since the loss of my first blog. <br /><br />Again, congrats, Fuji! <br /><br />The Underdog Card CollectorAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07694106471284552602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-15238603469503161772014-04-25T09:20:45.443-07:002014-04-25T09:20:45.443-07:00OmedetōgozaimasuOmedetōgozaimasuhockey kazihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06945148581319317235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-69911974043330762852014-04-25T08:45:22.424-07:002014-04-25T08:45:22.424-07:00Great job Fuji!

I actually first came across your writing through some cross-posting you have done on (I think) the Cardboard Connection forums, and it was that writing that actually spurred me into searching for baseball card blogs. From there, it spiraled into writing.<br /><br />It's also good to know that I'm nearly exactly the same age as you are -- born at the end of December in 1971 -- so it makes sense that I really *get* where you're coming from.<br /><br />For me, the magic numbers in baseball were always the uniform numbers of my favorite Brewers players growing up: 4 (Molitor), 15 (Cooper), 17 (Gantner), 19 (Yount), 20 (Gorman Thomas), and 37 (Dan Plesac). It should be no surprise that I used that combination one time as lotto numbers in the first-ever lottery drawing in Wisconsin. <br /><br />I matched 4 numbers and got something like $50 for my troubles.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-58637201736689595632014-04-25T08:19:09.458-07:002014-04-25T08:19:09.458-07:00Congratulations on all the posts .
