cool, i figured that was the story of some kind,the negro league homers didnt count towards him then because he was never in "white" mlb because of the segragation that sucks-dying at 35 3 months before jaackie robinson came into mlb!thanx for the info pasadenamudslide! i had a ton of old negro leage player autos 75 or so on 3x5 index and sold em off to a guy in in town, i remebmer i had cool papa bell, the other i cant really remember,they are displayed in a boxing traiing gym here in town now,probably worth a small fortune now,psa wasnt even around when i got them,definately woth a try to get em back thats for sure! thanx!!

saraharu oh-the guy with the record in japan -no wonder, with stadiums half the size of ours or smaller,i suppose they have to be small -lots o people and not a really big country- i was looking at some BMM cards of japanese teams and got to talking with a guy in japan on ebay, i couldnt beileve theres only 12 teams in japan, he said pokemon cards are more popular over there that baseball, no wonder all the asians are coming over here to play from japan, taiwan, even south korea, more $$$$$i think id take sports over pokemon anyday lol-maybe they like sumo wrestling better i suppose, and kung fu and karate, if they still keep with traditions of the older generations

pro wrestling guys have tried it.. a lot of pro wrestlers in japan did some mma, and some of them are pretty good too.. others suck pretty bad..

as for US wrestlers, Bam Bam Bigelow got owned pretty bad by a mma guy named Kimo.

but Brock Lesnar is doing MMA now, he could be dominant, he was a great amateur wrestler before he went to the WWF, plus he's big as hell..

i remember ken shamrock bouncing back and forth between the two till toto ortiz stomped him,then he retired, i never knew bam bam bigalow went into it?wasnt he the guy in wresting that had a giant tattoo on his head?lol thanx for the informing post mr andrews, i dint evenrealize that the OH guy was alive still, figured he was an old timer long past, ill have to try and send off to get his autograph on a card if i can find one,or a 3x5 index card, i suppose they would just grade under psa/dna right?io liked how topps put randy coutres card in the 2006 toppsallen and ginter set,he is still one bad sob and hes 46,he beat that big guy time sylvia like it was nothing,hes fighting somebody july 29th on pay per view-cant remeber who it is now,he has a beasutiful wife and hes beat all to hel and back lol,severe caloflower ears ,love to watch him fight though!

I'm not really sure when coke and heroine became illegal , but I have read that many famous and important people used to use them on the daily .

Not like daily needed to be said though, those drugs there , it's not really like you could stop using them , especially back then when the stuff was less likely to be stepped on .

The coke I could see one stop using though a little more easier than the heroine though, it is an actual physical addiction extremely hard to kick without the use of other meds any opiate is .

Think it was back in the '10s with a tax act (can't recall name), which opened the flood gates of anti-drug groups.

Both have numerous medical benefits but potential abuse and inevitable consequences more than outweigh the good.
