Great story about the origin of your interest in Baseball.

I chose my username because I lack imagination.
My avatar is my best card. Not my favorite, but it is unique.

Pretty straight forward - the cards are the center piece of my collection and 103 is where I watched all of my college games.

My avatar is Jimmy Claxton at Roslyn Ball park ca. 1926-31. Self explanatory.

I have a BA in Religious Studies which is where the username "pariah" derives. My religious studies thesis focused on untouchables in the Hindu faith; the origin, expansion, and institutionalization of the term. Probably where my interest in black baseball history is also rooted.

My avatar is David Clyde from whom sprung the only nickname I ever had as a player...leastwise, the only one that can be said in mixed company (you know, left-handers and you other folks).

Of more interest, my youngest nephew, who is a genius, is making his mark in Industrial Robotics Design...so, we'll all have a REAL one soon.

Just an image of Greta Garbo I liked, no direct connection to collecting.

I love the T205 set and the Wilhelm is one of the nicest...simple as that.

Pawnee Moses Yellowhorse - I'm a member of the Pawnee Nation & have relatives that remember him and would talk about him. I actually just went back to Wyoming to visit my Pawnee grandpa who is 91 years old - born in 1923. When his memory (and hearing) was better, he also had stories about him when he returned to the reservation. These are a few of my favorite images - these newspaper clippings are from 1941 & my grandpa Harold is 4th from the left. I recently picked up a 24 Zeenut from the BST of Moses... can't wait to get it!
