National in Baltimore

I am a very, very bad man.

Very bad.

There's a Seinfeld line going on in almost every thread!

This is very sad news that there is no Net54 dinner. It was one of the best aspects of the National weekend.

Sorry to hear that there won't be a dinner this year. I met some real nice people that night.

I thought that Leon did a great job putting it together last year and am sorry that he is not able to do it again.

Hopefully, I'll get to meet some of the other board members hanging out at the tables or the hotel bars.

Sorry to hear about the dinner being cancelled this year. It was always a very enjoyable time. Hopefully, some of us can get together at the National.

This will be my first National - I got a room at the Baltimore Hilton because it is adjacent to convention center. Also, it's right across from Camden Yards - anyone planning to catch an O's game that weekend? I'm going to try to catch either the Saturday night or Sunday afternoon game.

I too am sorry there won't be a dinner this year. It's a shame that a few bad apples have to ruin it for the rest of us. maybe I'll see some of you guys around the show or around town at a restaraunt or bar...

Speaking of Camden Yards. How tough is it to get tix for a game? Do you think that there will be tix available at the box office during the week of the National? Just how far is it from the convention center?

I'll miss the 54 Dinner too but there are lots of chances for members here to go to dinner together in groups or just hang out at the hotel bars and have a good time. We have always done this in the past and I see no reason we can't this year. I remember in Chicago (or was it Cleveland) when about 25 of us got together to eat dinner together after the show ended one day. It seems like one night in Cleveland there were about 15-20 of us in the bar (along with Don Larson) and we had a great time. There are so many fun guys here that there will be plenty of opportunities to get together,

T-Bob, I'm glad you mentioned that night in the sports bar with Don Larsen (twas Cleveland). I'm hoping you can fill in the last hour or so for me. My bar tab may have matched my show spending. Last I remember I was discussing with Al C. and Ryan C. the merits of whether Mays or Mantle was better. Was pretty blurry-eyed the next morning, even mistook a T206 Marquard for Matty and told bunches of folks how a seller had mis-priced the card and what a steal it was. What a party!

It was, of course, Willie Mays.

Let me know which hotel bar you're hanging out at.

Does any one now how far the army ordinance museum is from Baltimore? I would love to go if it is not too far away. Also is there anyone that knows the best way to buy tickets for the Orioles, game day through scalpers or through the ticket office.
