Was I fan of Michael Jackson? Yes. Did my friends know this? No, he was the butt of many a joke around my grade school. Did I watch the World Premiere of the “Thriller” video completely in awe with my parents? Yes. Do I still own a copy of “Bad” on vinyl? Yes. Was I shocked and surprised at his passing? Yes. Will I write a post memorializing the “King O Pop”? 
Absolutely not. There is a chance that my old grade school bullies may find this blog, hop a flight to Florida and break my nose again. It isn’t gonna happen. I will make a quick 80’s post of sorts, so here we go.
2007 Donruss Opening Day, who wants ‘em?
My parents still have one of these sets unopened and sitting on a shelf in their den with some of my old jerseys, trophies, kid stuff and Danny Tartabull memorabilia that they wont let go of. Since there is a back-up, when a friend asked me to break up the set that lives in my troll-quarters, I agreed. Now I have an incomplete set that will never again be complete.
Therefore, it must go. The White Sox, Pirates, Cardinals and Twins are gone. All other teams are up for grabs. As I flip through these one last time, I’ve noticed two things. First, the Yankees and Mets and Cubs and White Sox share a team card. The first person to comment for that team gets the team card. Second, I don’t know if I can part with the Julio Franco. 
I was thinking of putting together an “All Hair” team, if you want the Indians set, it may take some coaxing. By the way, this isn’t a trade; this is me sending you 10 cards. That’s it. Here’s how it will work. Leave a comment with the team you would like so folks know it’s taken. Next, e-mail me (bacontowne at yahoooooo dot com) with your address and screen name and the team that you would like. Then, wait patiently by your mailbox in about two weeks. I will mail all these out next Thursday (payday baby!!). Thanks for reading. Go Rays!!!
Troll out.
