OldTimer’s Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

Me and my boy have started the tradition of ripping a few packs on opening day. This year was our 2nd annual and I’m looking forward to what is hopefully many more!

was in heaven helping my son with his card collection and hope i can help pass it down o his two boys And his love for the Mets in the Doc and Straw daze caused me to stray from the Red Birds ever so slightly.

Our first MLB games together was a July series in Atlanta with the Mets, and we waited an eternity to get a Ron Darling autograph. It was nasty hot and I was impressed how Darling (on his bullpen day) signed autographs when most players hot-footed it off the field. Son became a Cardinal fan when he was in college in Memphis and family, the married into a family of Redbird fans in STL.

Weve made countless games there since 2000 and hope to get in some road trips tin the coming years. I was very jealous when he had tickets for World Series vs Texas, and we were the only Card fans when we toured Fenway the summer before the pandammit
 
Yeah, who would want to play in dreary, nothing-to-do-there LA when one can play in a bright, sunny, hopping beach town like Detroit???
I found it strange that the Dodgers were one of his 10 teams listed in his no-trade clause. That’s one of the last teams I would expect a player to list.

Love it!
I’m a Braves and Mets fan, Dale Murphy and Darryl Strawberry are my guys!
My son is a Braves and Phillies fan, Acuna and Bryce Harper are his guys.
My 4 year old hasn’t caught the fever yet, but I suspect he will.
I cherish spending time with my boys, whether it be at the ball park, playing catch in the backyard, watching on tv or opening packs of baseball cards.
It’s memories that mean a lot to me and I hope some day they’ll mean something to my boys too.
