I sent some cards over to Sam at the
Daily Dimwit and he sent me a package that made this Thanksgiving weekend even more exciting. The main piece of the deal was a 2010 Topps Chrome Darwin Barney Auto (Below). Barney plays for the Cubs and I'm a Brewers fan, so what gives? Well, Barney played high school ball in Oregon and eventually wound up at Oregon State. I've had the pleasure to watch him play and win two college world series titles with them (the Ducks didn't have a baseball team, so my Oregonness allowed me to root for the Beavs at this time). I've also met him a couple times at OSU prospect camps, so while I hope the Cubbies find a new home at the bottom of the division, I hope Mr. Barney continues to play well.
Sam also sent me a sweet vintage Robin Yount (1978 Topps). I never intended to collect much of Yount, but I now have a couple nice vintage cards of him and I met him down in Spring Training this summer, so I welcome all the vintage Yount anyone wants to send me. And the icing on the cake:
A Ryan Braun refractor and UD Baseball Heroes, both of which I will add to my ever growing collection of Ryan Braun cards. Thanks Sam!
