Through the years...

My name won’t tell you about me, so I’ll give the more important information.

Not likely to be retired soon lawyer aged 59. Grew up on Long Island, NY in Suffolk County - Deer Park through grade 10, then moved to Huntington and graduated from Walt Whitman High School in 1979. Followed my wife to Villanova, PA, where she was a Nursing student and where I went to Law School.

Used to play some Strat with my neighbors as a kid. My buddy, who owned the set and was a Cardinals fan, used to “correct” the cards to make then more in line with his Cardinal’s reality. Lots of fun memories.

No Strat at all then for about 30 or so years.

Don’t remember how I found out about this place. But when I did . . . you know. Played in the early or mid-2000s under another name and really can’t remember what that was. Got hooked then and then got pissed off and left; basically a HAL divorce. You know how that is.

Came back ‘cause . . . you know how that is.

Enjoy 80 and 100 Million. Had a 100 loss season at 200 Million to top off my abysmal record beyond 100 and will not venture into playing with that rich, Wall Street gang again - no over 100 Million for me.

Let the dice roll.

Excellent guess Bigmahon…Knoblauch is a great Texas kid but he is not the one. I guess I will narrow the field a bit…the player I coached actually has a $9+ million card. He had a pretty nice season. And thanks FrankieT for the encouragement. Hopefully I can stay in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Im guessing Biggio

and port jeff here.
and i know how that is. The HAL-iatus that affects everyone at some point. no vaccine for HAL's curses except indifference.

I'll give it a go. I couldn't see myself doing anything else, as I've yet to call it work. Playing as the Mets in the 70's truly sucked, since well... the Mets sucked.

Ha--that's cool. congrats.
Best thing about the Mets for me on Long Island was you could always get a great box seat for a ballgame.

Salty... Biggio would have been a nice addition but I never had the opportunity to Coach him. The player I Coached actually has an ATG card greater than $10 million. I try to claim credit for his year, but no one is buying it.

Hey, Petro. Cool.

Deer Park avenue. Memories. There was a grocery store on the corner of the Avenue and Nicols Rd , the High School was behind the store. Used to cut class and play handball on its back wall.

My grandfather had a boat docked in the Great South Bay in Babylon.
