Yeah, I can barely walk and will miss a double header tonight but I will get better. I have a massive contusion (huge) on one knee with a major road rash spot which is where most of the blood came from, a medium road rash on the other knee (more blood), a road rash on one shoulder (more blood) where I hit the ground and then several road rash spots on one arm (more but smaller blood). Our infield is some type of dirt- gravel...I play second base and dove for a short fly. The female umpire was looking for pieces of my skin the next 2 innings. She pointed to one on the ground but I didn't really care. I played the rest of the game, got 2 more hits and made a few putouts, but the aftermath is pretty bad for an old guy. We won the game. Back to cards.....

Will there be any "Game Used" skin fragments on the BST Leon?



Cheers,

I was thrilled to pick up not one but two of the Successful Farming Promo Cards, and two HOFers to boot:



I was disappointed to not win at least one of the other two, but today the glass is definitely half full.

One of my favorite T206s John. That is a great looking one. My copy is much lower grade and I still really like it. As for the skin.....I pulled it off my knee as it was just hanging there anyway...then threw it on the ground. Then the other team protested all of my blood but the umpire was cool and let me keep playing....

Wow, sorry to hear about this... it sounds awful. I am no stranger to injuries... I blew out my ankle a couple of months ago playing soccer and then as soon as I got back a month later, got a concussion... doing better now, but it is no fun being injured. Probably age does have something to do with it, but it sounds like you've got a rough infield. Hope you feel better soon.
