Well it's Sunday, and you know what that means. Yup, another day closer to baseball season starting.
Just a short post today highlighting a recent eBay pick up I purchased as part of the Halladay collection, which now stands at 194 cards.
This time I bought a 2009 Bowman Chrome X-Fractor card #226/250. I only paid 2.99 total for it, too. Not bad in my opinion. As usual, the scratches and marks are from the scanner. The card itself is in pristine condition.
I really like the determined look on Roy's face. Nice photography.
Seems hard to believe now, but it's true: Halladay did have a 10.64 ERA back in 2000. I'd say he fixed his mechanics pretty well, as he now has two Cy Young Awards to show for it.
With the Ravens and the Eagles now out of the football playoffs, I am more excited than ever for baseball to start. I want to root for a football team that's left, but I can't bring myself to get all excited for any of the teams remaining.
Go Bears? Eh.
Go Patriots? Nah.
Go Jets? Hmmm...No.
Go Steelers? HELL No.
Go Seahawks? I'm pretty sure they are done today.
Go Packers? Packers? Ugg...ok, Go Packers. I'll root for the underdog. I do like Aaron Rodgers...
I feel the same way about football. It was pack or bears for me but the Packers won in my internal battle. Go Packers!
