"The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. The old ballplayer cared about the name on the front. The new ballplayer cares about the name on the back." - Steve Garvey .

SUCCESS DAYS IN AUGUST


AUGUST 31 AUSTIN KEARNS This guy can hit the ball a ton but boy, what a year! He has been on the DL almost all year and has returned to the Reds last week. If he stays healthy, 20-30 homers a season is a good bet. He usually does not sign but he did when he was with the Louisville Riverbats. Was sent there on August 14th. Kearns, Dunn, Casey, Pena (needs defense) is a bunch of young guys that makes a Red fan proud, now only if they can dump Griffey and get one decent pitcher.

AUGUST 30 ZACH DUKE This 21 year old is developing well in the minors. He is 4-1 with a 1.55 ERA so far this season with the Altoona Curve. Was sent a week ago today c/o Altoona.

AUGUST 27 CASEY BLAKE He has had a breakout year so far with his career high in homers (21). Might have 30 or so at the end of the season. Improving with time. Was sent c/o Indians on Aug. 16.


AUGUST 23 BARRY BONDS Will go down as one of the best 5 players ever to walk on the field hands down. I have sent to Mr. soon to be 700, every spring training and during the season the last 6 years while rubbing my rabbit's foot. In 2000, the foot worked, as I got Bonds while he was on the DL which is above on the right. The black and white on the left is what I received today with a form letter from Bonds, both pre-prints. Have to admit, it is one of the best pre prints I have seen in a while or maybe my glasses need adjusted. Last season a few collectors recevied a pre print and this season, not many have been reported. I can't understand why he only sends a few. Oh well, like the Reds, there is always next year....where did I put that rabbit's foot? Was sent in spring training on March 11th.

* I have received several emails from collectors that have also received the card the past week. They have reported that theirs is a little different which has made it interesting. I have seen 5 scans so far and now I am leaning to a possible success.

AUGUST 20 JERRY DYBZINSKI Played from 1980-85 for the Cleveland Indians. Sit mostly on the bench during his career. Was sent c/o his home on July 24th.
Lifetime .234 3 HRs 93 RBIs.


AUGUST 13 KEN DAYLEY Pitched from 1982-1993 for the Braves, Cardinals, and Blue Jays. He was used as a reliever. Was sent c/o his home on July 22nd.
Lifetime W33-L45 3.64 ERA.


JERRY AUGUSTINE Pitched from 1975-1984. He was used in the bullpen and pitched his entire career for the Brewers. Was sent c/o his home on July 22nd.
Lifetime W55-L59 4.23 ERA.


AUGUST 11 BARRY BONNELL Played from 1977-1986 as a reserve. His best year was 1983, when he hit .318 10 HR 54 RBIs. Was sent c/o his home on July 22nd.
Lifetime .272 56 HRs 355 RBIs.


AUGUST 5 AMOS OTIS Played from 1967-1984 and was elected to the All-Star team 5 times. He also won the Gold Glove award in 1971, 1973, and 1974 and stole his share of bases. Was sent c/o his home on July 12th.
Lifetime .277 193 HRs 1007 RBIs.


AUGUST 3 RANDY JOHNSON Not the lefty from Arizona but played from 1982-1984. Played very little but again, it helps me fill the 84 set. Was sent c/o his home on July 11th.
Lifetime .267 6 HRs 53 RBIs.
