To Ya'll- the personal attack folks & poetic justice

Please shut up about personal crap and let's get back to talking about vintage baseball cards.....my absolute favorite topic......nothing personal against any of you as I don't care to get into more public (personal) debates....remember it takes TWO to argue........but while I am here I will tell a short story about a poetic justice that happened yesterday to me and does have a vintage card aspect to it........it is personal but still pretty good....then I promise I will heed my own advice......SO ya'll know that not too long ago I had been outbid for the last card of the m101-back set that I need (for ones that I know of). Some very stupid person bid about $900 more than that lot was worth and I let them have it....as I don't have that kind of money to throw away......well, I walked into work this previous Monday to an email telling me that my last card I need was being sent to me that day and I could just pay whatever I wanted for it....you see on that issue what comes around goes around....and in the same night that I lost the card (Collectible Classics auction) my softball team that I manage, and play on, got disqualified for one of our guys saying the G.D. word.....now, it was our fault as we had a collective warning but usually a player will get at least one personal warning....he didn't and we lost immediately as we didn't have as many players as we started with (which is a rule).....in the same game I hit my first ever, (and I am 40 and have always played some kind of base/softball), home run over the fence.....even more to that feat was the fact the guy up before me had pulled his hamstring and could barely walk and got a single to center field...so unless I put it out of the park he was going to be out....talk about a lifetime clutch hit.....we both walked slowly around the bases...I was as proud as a hen with 5 new chic's, and then later that night came the auction debacle............. Well, last night (Wed.) was the final game of the season and there was a 3 way tie for first with us and 2 other teams....we had beat one of them and had the DQ-loss with the other one....so it looked like a 3 way tie for first....that would have been a bummer.....our game was against an 0-5 team and they no showed so we won by forfeit....the next game was the team we had a DQ with and our only loss so I stayed and watched it.......in the 3rd inning one of their guys cussed for the second time and got thrown out of the game...they didn't have enough players and got disqualified....so we win the league.....to recap one of the worst nights for me recently I now have the card on the way, that I need ( for far less money ) and we won the softball league I am in.......regards all...
