did you ever see him play in person? Even from the deep recesses of the Metrodome outfield seats, It was impressive as heck to watch this guy play. Kept a decent lineup off the board for 7 innings too. (Knoblauch, Puckett, Cordova and company in 1995)
No... never got to see it in person. My Dad (yet again) told me about a one handed pitcher and I didn't believe him. My dad actually got his mit out and showed me how he put his mit on as he followed through. Of course Jim Abbott made it look seamless, but my Dad tried. lol
Hey! I may be cheap! But I'm not easy......
Oh man... that hurts. And here I thought you were one of the good ones.Hey! I may be cheap! But I'm not easy......
I've got to ask my one brother if he remembers something like this. I don't remember ever seeing anything like this although if they were available my dad DEFINATELY would have bought those with 5 kids in our family as well. We always got bread and baked goods in "The Day Old Bread Store" where the products were pretty much stale. A few years ago I was talking to a woman who used to buy a lot of bread from the "Day Old Bread Store" and she saud she used to feed it to her hogs. I was like "Man oh man, that is what we ate". LMAO!!! My brothers got a huge kick out of that!
They may be cheap but you won't find a ton of them out there which is why I've always liked the oddball issues. I don't have that disc and am not sure if I have any of thet set.. I'd trade for any of those in a heartbeat.
I can vaguely remember getting some products labeled like that in the 80's but most of it was the government cheese and stuff.
These aren't hard to find and pretty cheap. I think King B was a burger joint... don't quote me on that tho!
King B was or is a jerky brand and if I remember correctly, it was shredded like chewing tobacco and in the little round containers. Hence the round cards
I cannot find out what King B's is/was to save my life! A grocery chain? Burger joint? Bakery? Convenience Store? i just cannot find a thing about them.
I JUST posted that question right as you answered it. All of my initial guesses were wrong but now I know.
We called it Reagen cheese. LOL
My dad was a teacher and the other big card collector besides me in the area was also a teacher. My dad and he used to get those empty government cheese boxes to store cards in. To this day the other teacher and I STILL use tons of those boxes for card storage 4+ decades later. Oddly enough "cheese boxes" were better than the first wave of fold up card storage boxes as they all seemed to have a ridged floor where the cheese boxes were smooth and would not damage cards due to careless handling.
