How did "Net54Baseball.com" get that name?

[Edwolf1963]

and when was it established..? I'm sure it's been addressed before, but I never noticed or knew for sure - curious.

Our old board was hosted by www.network54.com .......it was the forum s/w and hosting all in one. That company hasn't really kept up with the times (with their forum s/w) so we moved to this Vbulletin software and found a new hosting company. I chose Net54baseball.com to keep some continuity. Hope that explains it.....the old network54 baseball board was formed in Sept of 2001.....this s/w and board was started in May of 2009.

I knew the answer. I can't believe I have been following the forum that long.

I was following the old forum for a couple of years, then I got away from collecting for a while. By the time I tried to find the forum again it had changed over. I think I ended up having to email Leon to figure out how to get my account going again.

It does, thanks! I've been on since before the switch-over in '09, just not sure of the origination time frame and name. Thanks again.

We need to get Frank to retell his version of the events....

There is a thread but I haven't the time to find it.

This made me laugh and and in turn woke up my wife. Trying to explain to her why I was laughing was not as funny.

Clearly this was a tribute to the New York Giants World Championship year... The Giants swept the favored Cleveland Indians... Willie Mays made a miraculous catch... Dusty Rhodes dropped tons of magic... and voila!

Well played, Leon... well played!
