Jeter's new look?

Baseball Dad was kind enough to send me over some 2010 cards. Apparently, Derek Jeter got a new a look on the way from Ohio.

He even adds a little suspense.

I slowly pulled back because I didn't know what was in store. His hat seemed normal, his eyes are the same ... then, ohhhhhhhhh

Well, it's not so bad. I always did like a guy with facial hair. Jeter makes it work. ;)

Here are the rest of the cards good ol' Baseball Dad sent over. These have to be old since Jeter is sporting his old look in them.

Bubble mailers from across the blogosphere

I'm a little late in thanking some of our bloggers from across the country. I received packages over the last couple of months, but haven't posted my proper thanks.

Forgive me for not saying it sooner, but thank you. I loved everything I've received.

First, I received this box of Yankees baseball cards with a few Derek Jeter cards thrown in -- for free. Life is so strange these days that I am always humbled and amazed when people do things like this. Tribecards sent this box of cards over not too long ago and paid for the shipping ($6.13) out of his own pocket.

Isn't it pretty?


The next package came from Rod over at Padrographs. We traded two cards of Pres. Eisenhower from the 2009 Heritage set for a 2009 Jeter Spectrum card /25. He was kind enough to send over this entire case of Yankees cards, including a YSL -- if I remember correctly -- that went over to Marie.


The last bubble mailer I received yesterday (or maybe the day before. My memory is shot) from Baseball Dad. He gave out a free gift for getting to 100 posts on his blog. He sent over a CD compilation of baseball's greatest hits, which I will listen to in about an hour when I am heading up to the Lakewood Blueclaws, three Jeter cards I did not own and four Gabe Kapler cards. A man after my baseball heart.

Again, I give a hearty thank you. But it won't be just on the blog. I will be sending out my own type of thank you.
