I just received probably the greatest gift anyone has given me from CU

Hhmag70 (Scott) sent me a package that I was just able to get in my hands today. I open and a HUGE surprise! Its a multi signed baseball (a bit rough but who cares, right?) with what appears to have Elston Howard and possibly Phil Rizzuto and Roger Maris...unfortunately, I cant focus my eyes well right now because Im very tired and just got home from a 4+ hour drive. Either way, this is by far the coolest gift anyone here has ever given me!

Thank you so much, Scott! You kick A$$!!! I hope one day I can come up with something as cool to send you!

    Work sucks... I get to work from 4 until the end of the evening... They posted something on the wall saying anyone missing SBS would be fired.

    Credit belongs with vladguerrero on this. He sent me the ball with another item I purchased from him. Since I really don't have much in the lines of autos and consider myself more of a NL fan I thought the ball belonged with a Yankee/auto collector. If not for vlad being so generous I would have had nothing to send Barry.

    HAHAHA Good thing I have not yet started drinking. There would have been beer in my nose as well as on my keyboard. Maybe on the monitor also.

    Glad it found a good home, always nice to see board generosity whether it's an item or using your time to help someone else, I've been the recipient of more than my fair share...

    Yes, when I think of great board members, I think of the guy who calls long time members a douchebag.

    Yeah, he's a great "member".

    So because you and BBG are long time members you have the green light to act like a douche? That attitude pretty much sums up the reason why you were called a douchebag.

    There is absolutely no need to bash Scott on a thread where he did something really nice and thoughtful.
