Gotcha down. Thanks!
Posted by: 5toosweet Jan 23 2012, 08:37 PM
Thought there would be more interest than this. Is it too much?
Posted by: booth9919 Jan 24 2012, 03:06 AM
I liked our 25 dollar one.
Posted by: 5toosweet Feb 3 2012, 08:28 PM
Based on current prices I have lowered the spot to $44. If this break doesnt get filled I will revamp it a bit. I would like to get a break going regularly again.
Posted by: mspaugh04 Feb 3 2012, 10:29 PM
why not? put me in for a spot. haven't been in a baseball break. I've been specifically football. but this sounds pretty fun

If we can get at least 3 more spots filled I will take the last one to get this rolling. Money will be due once all spots are filled.

Posted by: Blitz 46 Feb 14 2012, 04:37 PM
I need to look at which teams are good to pick in the draft, not got a clue as I have only recently started to take an active interest in baseball! Looking forward to this. 
Posted by: 5toosweet Feb 14 2012, 06:53 PM
Sorry about the delay in the draft video. Got caught up in some errands. Will make it later tonight.
Posted by: RGBII Feb 14 2012, 07:01 PM
Very cool to have a Brit in the Baseball break.
Where in England are you from? I did some
serious traveling there in the early '70's.
I hope that you become an avid fan of the
"perfect game."
Abel, you need to call me ASAP. I'm laying out
the art for the your Card Show and I need some

Hey, nice to be involved in one. Been a huge fan of the NFL since mid 80's but only recently took an interest in baseball.
I am from a place called Worcestershire which is pretty much in the middle! Nearest big city is Birmingham. What places did you visit when you were over?
Posted by: NYStateOfMind1976 Feb 16 2012, 12:41 AM
I guess that would make the Nationals the team that is calling my name..LOL

Typical touristy things . . .
Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, various pubs (that nurtured
my love of darts). We also saw Stonehenge, Lakenheath AFB
and Wales.
Enjoyed it and the fine folks as much or more than any
of the five continents that I have been on.
I hope you get some hits in the break and l may have
a video that'll fire you up about Baseball. Send me an
address.

Richard, you really don't have to do that. I do not mind taking another team. I didn't realize the Braves had already been taken by you.
If you want the Braves please feel free to keep them and I will pick another team - I am happy either way, and thanks for the kind gesture. If I need to pick again let me know.
By the way did you see my pm Richard?
Thanks,
Steve.

Yes sir, I did. That answers
both queries.
I apologize for the delay in responding. My inbox
was and still is an inposing beast.
It is done, as you can see in the originating post.
I enjoy, immensely, that an individual from 3,600+
miles away is interested enough in a game that is
foreign to him, to get involved in this break. It is,
indeed, a small world.
Before this gig is over, you'll be an avid Baseabll

I'll take the Brewers and the Astros.
Hey folks, I'm obviously not in this for
the hits, simply for participation.
The Brewers will be held hostage from
pavi39 and the Astros so that no one else
will be stuck with 'em.

There has been a setback on the break date. I noticed that the remainder of the balance due thru PayPal had to be taken out of my checking acct so its still pending. It says it will clear between Feb 29-Mar 2. If it ships tomorrow I can do the break Friday night. If it ships Thurs or later I can do it Mon or Tues afternoon. I will have to update my debit card info to make sure this doesnt happen again. Sorry for the delay.
Posted by: 5toosweet Feb 29 2012, 03:10 PM
E check cleared today. Lets hope they ship out today and if they do we are looking at a Friday evening break.
Posted by: 5toosweet Mar 1 2012, 09:55 AM
Package is expected to be delivered tomorrow so we are looking at a Friday night break. I get out of work at 7pm EST so lets do the break at 830pm EST.
How does that sound? I can do it later if needed.

Sorry for the delay in shipping. Been really busy with family but had this past weekend off so packages are gonna ship on Monday. Look for this months breaks to be posted Tuesday. Gonna try to get them in the Group Breaks Forum.
As for the Irv Noren Auto I was notified during the break that the card would go to the Rangers. Well after doing some research he played for the Senators from 50-52 before they became the Minnesota Twins. So that puts RGBII as the rightful owner.
