not rickey, but boxing!..

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

as i’ve said before, i collect all kinds of stuff besides just rickey henderson.. a friend of mine (Halosfan) from the CU forums knows I enjoy sports in which people get punched in the face, and he sends me some cool boxing cards sometimes.. he’s sent me several over the years, but here are the latest two.. I think my favorite is the Jack Slack card.. homeboy just seems like a badass.. he died in 1778, and the back of the card says little is known about him except that he was also a butcher, and a “master with the broad-sword”..

1998 was one of my “absentee” collecting years, I kinda didn’t collect much from 1995-2002 for various of reasons.. (mostly chicks & booze)..

check out the scans in my photo gallery:

rickey hendersons empty drink bottle?

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

evidently Rickey likes Canada Dry.. at least according to this auction.. the seller says he doesn’t have a certificate of authenticity, but hey, there is still some drink left in the bottle, which the seller calls Rickey’s “backwash”.. pleasant.

cheap new addition, not Rickey Henderson..
