I changed mine to my current avatar back in 2013, in the days after the Boston Marathon bombing. I grew up in Watertown (and live in the next town over now), which is where the manhunt occurred and they found the bomber hiding in a boat in someone's backyard (a block away from my son's daycare).
The avatar represents Watertown Strong, and gives me pride in my hometown!

My avatar is the '51 Bowman card of my former Neighbor Wayne Terwilliger "Twig". He was also the first base coach of the Twins when they won their World Series titles in '87 / '91. He's still kicking down in Texas at age 90.

My college history thesis was on untouchables in Hinduism, or pariahs. The original meaning of the term "pariah" in Sanskrit actually means "player of the leather skinned drum", or a cow murderer. It's for convenience and to compensate for the many free fantasy sports leagues I enter. The username is never taken, and if it is, I likely already have an account on that site.
The avatar is of my favorite baseball pioneer, Jimmy Claxton, at Roslyn Ballpark ca. 1926-31. Last edited by pariah1107; 04-29-2016 at 08:56 AM.

The username is a tribute to the 19th century biologist Thomas Huxley and, by extension, to Charles Darwin himself who had, as Daniel Dennett put it, "the single best idea anybody ever had." And I'll fight the man, woman, or child who says otherwise.
The avatar is the W600 of tough-luck pitcher Virgil "Ned" Garvin. One of my long-term projects is to collect the "rookie card" for each of the 50 states -- the first major league baseball card of the first player to reach the majors from each of the 50 possible home states. The W600 Garvin is the rookie card of Texas* and the first really tough card that I picked up for that project. *I know Hoffman has an N172, but in his case that's a minor league/"prookie" card.

Nothing fancy here I started collecting rookie cards when I was a kid. I still do but I now switch around stuff. So Rookiemonster is a play on word from Cookie Monster obviously.
My avatar is a picture I took from my son and I's first game together in Yankee stadium last year.
