Love it. Best thread in the hobby.

Very cool Erick. Thanks for chaperoning Buck. I hear he wants to make the Net54baseball Dinner at the National again this year too. So let's see if we can get him back here (Dallas) in the next several months. Buck has been quite the world traveler!!

any takers?

Joshchisox08 04-20-2015 11:54 AM

What specifically do you do with a picture of Buck ? I can't imagine he's been to CT yet. Are you supposed to take a picture of him at something the state is known for ? This does seem like a very very interesting thread and a very cool idea.

Also is someone keeping a tally on where he has been and has a list somewhere ? Kind of like Franks MONSTER list.

abothebear 04-20-2015 12:00 PM

Over the first couple of years I was grabbing pictures and adding them to a photobucket album. I was thinking about starting a blog-style website but haven't gotten around to it.

Here is the original post with the description. http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=135445

Since then it has morphed, in a good way, into something bigger, and more casual.

t206hound 04-20-2015 05:39 PM

Buck is still available... Here's the last photo from the trip:

Buck is still with me, but will be shipped to a new home on Tuesday. We decided to make the most of our last weekend together.

Today we went to the Nationals-Phillies game today. It was 'youth baseball day' so we were able to get on the field (no players in sight though).

No opportunity to get on the field today, but a gorgeous day for baseball to see the Astros and Orioles.

Where is Buck ??? Interested in taking him on a date or two !

Leon 07-10-2015 10:15 AM

Actually Buck was supposed to speak again at the Net54baseball Dinner this year at the National. It is only 3 weeks away. I would like to get him back if possible. Buck has been quite the traveler....

Leon 08-01-2015 07:21 AM

I am happy to say Large Ass Buck Herzog made the Net54baseball dinner again last night. I want to thank whomever made it happen in getting him to me. We were having a few cold ones pretty late last night and all went well with Buck. He said he wasn't feeling well so was having having soda to drink.

However, when I got up this morning Buck was MIA. I had forgotten to bring Buck back to my room. I scampered down to the ballroom and frantically looked for him. After about 10 minutes he was found. A worker had put him in one of the banquet workers offices. Buck is safe and will be looking for his next adventure soon.

It appears that Buck was wearing protection (a body condom!). There was probably nothing to worry about.

Midwest Buck
 
Buck took a little "no coast" vacation to Missouri to hang out with me for a couple months.
I took him over to MU to show him the columns.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck01-mu.jpg

They were doing maintenance, but we stuck our heads through the fence and snapped a pic.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck02-mu.jpg

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck03-mu.jpg

We said our goodbyes to Shakespeare's. They tore it down the next day...

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck04-mu.jpg

Here's the Missouri Capitol building in Jefferson City.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/ne...5-jeffcity.jpg

I took Buck to KC for a game.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck06-kc.jpg

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck07-kc.jpg

The Royals lost, but Salvador Perez hit a homer in the 9th that was caught by this guy...

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck08-kc.jpg

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck09-kc.jpg

We strolled downtown KC and hit up the farmer's market.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck10-kc.jpg

Then drove by the Schlitterbahn water park to get a look at Verrückt (the world's tallest water slide),
but Buck thought it was a bad idea so we moved on.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck11-kc.jpg

milkit1 08-06-2015 03:03 PM

Something bitter sweet about big ass bucky and a restaurant heading towards demolition .

midmo 08-06-2015 03:07 PM

We spent a couple days in Lawrence, Kansas. We gave props to Phog Allen, but also sent bad vibes for the upcoming season. :)

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck12-ks.jpg

The water level is up, better stay clear.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck13-ks.jpg

I think we're lost...

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck14-ks.jpg

We made a stop in Topeka to visit the Kasas State Capitol.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck15-ks.jpg

If you build it...

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck16-ks.jpg

midmo 08-06-2015 03:33 PM

We headed over to Pittsburgh. Even though Buck had been there before he was up

for the trip. He got down on the field and sat in the dugout.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck17-pit.jpg

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck18-pit.jpg

We also visited the Warhol museum. We couldn't take pictures inside, but were

inspired to create "Buckhol".

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck19-pit.jpg

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/ne...20-buckhol.jpg

Then off to Cinci for the Home Run Derby & All Star Game.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck21-cin.jpg

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck22-cin.jpg

We sat in the bleachers for the Derby and got damn close, but didn't catch a ball. Maybe next year.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck23-cin.jpg

We ran into the Marlins Man.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck24-cin.jpg

The Hall of Fame had an exhibit in the convention center.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck25-cin.jpg

As coincidence would have it, we checked out the Hunt auction where one of Buck's personal presentation bat awards was being offered:

http://huntauctions.com/live/imagevi...=287&lot_qual=

It was out of my budget (and did not sell), but I picked up a cool 1946 Vargas team photo w/ Campanella so I left happy.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck26-cin.jpg

midmo 08-06-2015 05:59 PM

We hit up the Gateway Classic Cars Sports Show in O'Fallon, IL. Tons of awesome cars here, but all I took home was a Chief Meyers Standard Biscuit.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck28-ill.jpg

Buck met Buck...

The 1967 World Series Trophy in the Cardinals Champions Club.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck32-stl.jpg

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck33-stl.jpg

That's a winner! The Cards beat Colorado 9-8 after being down by 3 in the bottom of the 9th.

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck34-stl.jpg

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck39-stl.jpg

On the way to Chicago...

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck40-ill.jpg

I got in town for the National a little later than expected, but just in time to hand off Buck so he could party with Leon. :)

http://www.collectingbrooklyn.com/net54/buck41-chi.jpg

What happened later that night, the world may never know...

JeremyW 08-06-2015 06:06 PM

You've taken it to another level. Thank you.

milkit1 08-07-2015 06:24 AM

wow! great pics! That alien ship is about an hour from me, I hope Buck wasnt mad that I didnt take him there :(

Bpm0014 08-07-2015 07:20 AM

Coolest thread ever....

baztacula 08-07-2015 10:07 AM

Buck seems to usually be in the company of men, which is fine and everything as long as that is his choice. When is the last time he experienced the touch of a woman? Just curious.

t206blogcom 08-10-2015 11:51 AM

I laughed at the Marlins Man picture.

My buddy was taken by Marlins Man to a couple of Nats games recently. Nice guy.

ullmandds 08-10-2015 11:57 AM

I certainly hope buck has had some action since with me in amsterdam(not WITH me...but I was there)...someone ask him?

The Police wrote a song about his travels through Amsterdam I believe...he seems to have had quite the impact on Sting. Made him quite repetitive.



Large Ass... you don't have to put on the red light

I know my mind is made up so put away your make-up
I told you once I won't tell you again it's a bad way

Large Ass you don't have to put on the red light
Large Ass you don't have to put on the red light
Large Ass (you don't have to put on the red light)

That may be post #312. He is with my wife Dana aka Mistress B. all five foot nothing of her. Not looking her best in the photos on the 90º+ and humid day but he still enjoyed it.

John V 12-28-2015 03:11 PM

Has anyone seen or heard from Large Ass lately?

I think he got sold with the Leon luckey collection.

It has been a while, any news on Buck?

Large Ass Herzog has been traveling the world with Net54ers for over 5 years now. Hard to believe.
