2010 Fantasy Baseball Draft
Just to give everyone a heads up in case you didn’t know, the fantasy draft is scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday March 14, 2010 at 6:45pm. If this is a problem for anyone please let me know and we can try and adjust the time. If you guys would prefer a later start that is fine also, just post it up as a comment.
Again, if you have a suggestion for the league now is the time to post it and get this hammered out.
Some of you have sent your payments already, and others have advised me that it would be here within the week and that’s fine.
More pictures of Yankee Stadium Demolition
It really amazes me with what you can find on the internet to buy from the old Yankee Stadium. There are people selling the flags of the teams of Minnesota, Toronto
, and Toronto
. Perhaps you have no where to hang something like that, and maybe you need a new chair to watch the 2010 season from… Why not watch it from a seat that you used to sit in, an old Yankee Stadium seat
. Nevermind the fact that for less money you can sit and watch 41 games live from the bleachers. If you are itching to spend some big time money, here is what I would buy
if I didn’t already have tickets for Opening Day.
I know this seems kind of gloomy to post more pictures of the greatest place being dismantled, but it’s one of those things that I just can’t stop looking at. It’s very weird seeing complete walls missing from a place that once housed so many games and events.

Beckett Baseball Editor Comments About Hobby Blogger
Chris Olds is the editor of Beckett Baseball magazine, the unquestioned leading hobby publication on the market. Today on his Twitter account, Olds had some comments about hobby blogger, and known Beckett detractor, Voice of the Collector.
The ball got rolling when Olds “re-tweeted” a Follow Friday list by CardboardIcons – with Olds choosing to delete the link to Voice of the Collector’s Twitter account. Here is the conversation on Twitter that followed:
CardboardIcons - @chrisolds2009 notice you left a guy off that RT. LMFAO.
Chris Olds -Editor of Beckett Baseball magazine -@cardboardicons Yep. And there are countless reasons why. I don’t know him, he doesn’t know me. But he insists on building his identity with cheap shots, so there’s no need to FF (Follow Friday).
Field Level View – @chrisolds2009 @cardboardicons I completely understand where Chris is coming from, whether I agree or not.
Chris Olds -Editor of Beckett Baseball magazine - @FieldLevelView It’s easy to be negative … and it’s easy to lie if you’re desperate to get hits and love cheapshots. It happens a lot.
There has not been a response by VOTC on Twitter at the time this was posted. His last Twitter message implied that he was already having a rough day because he was heading to a dentist appointment.
UPDATE: VOTC - Via Twitter: For the record I don’t recall EVER attacking anyone at Beckett personally. It’s business, never personal. I harbor no ill will to anyone. What prompted this? I have never attacked him personally in any (way). In fact I really like his (Chris Olds) writing.
Jordan Weal Notches 100 Points
Every year, there are several 100-point scorers in the CHL, but Jordan Weal is a bit of an extraordinary case. In the first case, he is the first 17-year old WHLer in 10 years to record that many points. He is also one of a select number of draft eligible players to record 100 points [...]
