Dude! We are not supposed to talk about that. You'd better look out your window. The car that just pulled up is the MIB.

Pre-nostalgia for when the centerfield cow pasture was only 54 feet from home plate?

As founder, I don't want to give it away yet, but I will mention that the original name of the forum was "Vintage Baseball Card Forum".

Some great guesses so far, keep them coming.

Not sure about the 54.

If I were going to start something.....anything, like a website or a business, I would want it to have a number that instills honesty and trust.

A number like.....00000001

Perfect!

Default Board History
My memory is not the best, but I remember a board where the posts went like this...

does anyone have a T207 Milan?

........ Yes, I have a T207 Milan Napolean back.


etc

There was another board. And then a hostile takeover like Mutiny on the Bounty. That's all I remember.

I think Wilfred Brimley and his diabeetus somehow figures into all of this.

Default Conspiracy Theory - Search for Truth
I have been looking for evidence to substantiate my previous contention regarding leon, Lola and the Marvelettes (Post #22). I decided to pick an area code at random (760) and dialed Beechwood 45789. A cub reporter named Farleigh from the Desert Sun in Palm Springs answered the phone. I explained the reason for my call and Farleigh assured me he would look into it.
Well, it wasn't long, before I could finish my venison tostada, that Farleigh returned my call. In the newspaper's archives he found evidence of a clandestine meeting that took place in the early nineties between the Marvelettes warm up band, "The Baker's Dozen", and a group of card soakers know only as "The Dirty Dozen". What makes this even more compelling though is the location of the meeting, the Bistro 29 in Twentynine Palms, just up the highway from Palm Springs. Far be it for me to doubt Farleigh's research and if I'm not mistaken 13+12+29=54. I think I'm getting closer to the truth.

This board was previously hosted on Network54.com, which I believe was this boards second incarnation. I first posted there in early 2003.
