Turn Back The Clock

I whipped up a little something to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary and thought I would share it.

PAD Circus - Delay of Game is Well Worth It!

Hey, everyone!

I will not be posting baseball card pack breaks for a few days. You see, my wife and I are heading out to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary!! WAHOO!! So, we'll see you sometime this weekend. ;-)
