Default Cool (at least to me) Find
Some of you know that I collect cards of my great-grandfather, Frank "Bullet" Miller. I found this in my usual eBay searches today; it is a Christmas card that my great-grandmother sent which included a $2 check to renew his membership in the Old Time Ball Player Association. The best part is that the great-grandson born on December 8 that is mentioned in the last paragraph was me.

Does anyone know who the Mr. Krueger that the card was sent to would be? I have found these two possibilities: Joe Krueger or Ernie Krueger

Dude, 11 pounds! You were a HUGE baby, make sure you get your Mom something extra nice on Mothers Day for putting her through all that!

Ha, I figured that wasn't going to slip by. My wife would probably tell you that I'm still a big baby

You seriously found that on Ebay?!?! How cool is that.

I've written a couple of books and they've show up on ebay a good bit, but I could never imagine finding something personal like that.

Your story must have freaked out the seller.

The seller did think it was pretty cool. She said she listed it months ago; I have no idea why it took me so long to notice it. It arrived yesterday and I could not be happier.
