1954 bowman Charley Pride custom card..

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

i was reading the CU forums a few days ago and found this post about an awesome custom card featuring Charley Pride, made by by Bob Lemke to resemble the 1954 Bowman baseball set..

yes, Charley Pride the hall-of-fame country music singer was a professional baseball in the Negro Leagues before he made a name for himself in music..

check out the scan of the card below (click the photo for a larger view)..

jose canseco is gonna fight MMA..

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

holy crap he’s gonna get his head knocked off by Hong Man Choi, who is a 7′2″ 350lb Korean dude with some legit MMA experience.. while Canseco was fighting danny bonaduce, Hong Man Choi (aka “The Techno Goliath”) was fighting Fedor..

ive been an MMA fan since i first saw UFC 3 on VHS back in the 90’s, and couple that with being an Oakland A’s fan back in the “Bash Brothers” day, and it makes probably the most awesome fight i’ve ever looked forward to.. pure entertainment.

RIP Jose.



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..

i picked up this bgs 9.5 1997 Pinnacle “Mirror Gold” #65 of Ron Gant.. only cost a few bucks..

RAWR! i don’t feel tired..
this kid went to the dentist..

another player I collect eligible for HOF..

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

of course, he won’t get in, but it’s still nice to see Ron Gant’s name on the HOF ballot.. i met him back in the 1988 pre-season when I was 12 years old and he was just a random rookie for the Braves..

i was at an exhibition game in Florida during spring training, and i got dissed by Dale Murphy when I tried to get an autograph.. Ron Gant saw me get dissed, walked up to me from behind and put his hand on my shoulder and offered to sign my program.. awesome, although i had no idea who he was.. i had to try and match the signature to the player names in my program when i got home..

anyway, after that i really wanted to see Gant be successful, and he was, with several 30+ homerun seasons before getting injured in an ATV accident..

Blogs that only allow “Blogger” posts..

Monday, January 5th, 2009

miss out on comments.. i hate reading a blog only to find out after I start to comment, that I have to be a member of Blogger or whatever.. they should have the Name/URL option available or something..

also, i’m just now finally listening to the GNR Chinese Democracy album.. not bad so far..

a blog.. aka blizzog.

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

awesome.

someone told me i should have a blog on this website, so now i do.. not sure how often i’ll update it, but ok..

maybe i’ll write other random stuff instead of just rickey henderson, but rickey wouldn’t like that..
