Surviving Grady?

I found a funny Boston Red Sox fan blog called Surviving Grady courtesy of the Baseball Card Blog.

Did you know that Hideki Matsui is one of the pre-eminent collectors of Japanese pornography? I didn't either! See how Randal and Dante from Clerks plan to use this information to their advantage.

"You know how the mind of a porno fiend works. That stuff plays in your head 24/7. It doesn't stop when you shut off the tape or DVD."

"So... even when Matsui's in the outfield, watching David Ortiz about to launch a moonshot sixteen miles over his head... he's really thinking about Japanese schoolgirl porn?"

"Exactly...."

Man-O-Live. They'll do anything to win.

On another note, I recently added a new section of links called "Collectible Blogs." There are still plenty of memorabilia and card collectors out there and, like myself, they are sharing their thoughts about the hobby, their collection and Baseball in general. If you happen to run into others please let me know.

• Aaron's Room A vintage Baseball memorabilia collector.
  
• The Baseball Card Blog
• Jason Wilder
  
• The 1983 Fleer Project
  
• Stale Gum

There appears to be a recent common theme among some of these blogs. How to save the hobby. Being a former Baseball card dealer during the late 80's and early 90's has me thinking about this subject quite a bit. I'll collect my thoughts and post my recipe for expanding the fan base by expanding the collector base in future writings.
