So happy to have you around grandforks! How have you been? How have you spent the last few years since the Pinstripe Plus board shut down? People can blame Kaybli for me being here, since he found me and invited me to check this place out. I was surprised and delighted to find a lot of posters from the old place. A lot of really good posters that I missed. I actually have not been on a forum since the old board shut down. I know you found me on pinstripe alley, but I only signed up there to make comments on their Top 100 Yankees project. I visit the site because they list box scores for the Yankees minor league affiliates, and since I’m a prospect junkie, it is handy to get daily updates. But I couldn’t resist throwing my comments into the ring when they started the 100 Yankees project. Their rankings have been really wacky. Or maybe my idea of what the rankings should be are wacky, and they have been spot on. Who knows?  Other than following the Yankees and collecting vintage baseball cards, I’ve been trying to spend as much time as possible with my daughters as they finish school. It’s weird adjusting back to just having my wife in the house again, but I’m sure it has been even weirder for her. I sure as s*** wouldn’t want to be alone with me this much. At least she has the dogs. Great to see you back, grandforks and you being a prospect junkie like me, makes it ever sweeter. I once owned CY Young and Walter Johnson T-206's but had to sell them. They weren't in great shape, but worth a little bit and I was broke. I took them around to several card shops and antique stores and they all wanted to give me $100 for the pair. I thought that was really low. A friend told me about this new thing called EBay, so he put them on there and got $600. I rue the day I had to sell them. |

I don’t know about this place. It looks like it’s full of scoundrels. I was a board less refugee from the clutches of Hal on the Yes board! Now I have been welcomed here ( I hope ). So I too welcome you! Yes, I am one of those scoundrels! But I am old  and harmless! |

Grandforks was one of our preeminent baseball historians on our old site, which is why those of us from that place are so happy to see him. I feel as if I should be table-hopping like at a wedding introducing people from both sides to each other. |

That Maas card looked good for awhile. Now — What the heck have you been up to the past few years outside of starting a message board/discussion forum? I've been doing really well. Back in 2017 when PP shut down I was still living with my parents. In a stroke of good fortune I invested in cryptocurrency in 2018 when prices were really low. I sold it a bit early (If I waited a little and sold at peak I could have practically retired, I'll be kicking myself for that one forever) but I made out real well. Then I lost 60 pounds last year. Unfortunately I've put back on 25 pounds so I have to work on it again. Also, I got promoted at work starting in January so I'll be real busy. Don't worry, I'll always make time for all my dear friends here at Bronx Bombers Board! So happy to have you around grandforks! Thanks for sharing Kaybli. Congratulations on the promotion. And hey, you are still 35 pounds to the good, so congratulations on that, as well. |

Yet another outstanding poster from the past. Yes I’m a prospect hugger to a fault, still waiting for the time (which will never happen) when the entire team came up thru the system. |
