Ahh yes, nothing like a little black face to tell the story of baseball.
Thanks for sharing.

One of my favorite cabinets. You're welcome. I love the craziness of it.

and back to subject. David is one of my favorite guys in the hobby.

I’ve known David for 25 years and have had numerous dealing with him. He is a great guy and was one heck of a football player when he was young (this is true). I have spent countless hours talking to him at Nationals, all very enjoyable.

Oy… I just wanted to know if anyone knew David. Found him offline, seems cool. To those who chipped in to my question, thanks.

(Weird how these threads can take such nasty turns seemingly out of nowhere.)

You could have found him here too if you had just looked, or checked my link right at the top of the thread.

Trolls are always ready to crawl out and spew their venom at the first opportunity. Sorry to start it going so far off topic, but I know a relative of David's and felt like I should rebut the post, having only gotten as far as the first sentence without ever seeing the "joke" part, which wasn't funny, anyway. Only a moron wouldn't realize what had happened and give me some slack on not being more thorough in perusing his post, but that's not his way, apparently. I apologize for the bad language, but I don't take that kind of crap from anybody. And I am very happy to see that the rave reviews of David's position in the hobby remain unanimous.

...one of several reasons why I tend to refrain from frequently contributing to this forum, sometimes for years at a stretch. Unfortunately, the internet in general is comprised of all types. Sometimes, one action really ruins what could have been a much more positive experience for all and only serves as an embarrassing blemish for all who contribute here.

For all the people who praise the collective knowledge of board members, I wonder if they realize how much stronger the forum would be if it wasn't for such antics. Things like that have driven away many extremely knowledgeable people due to a shared distaste, if not having prevented them from even making an initial post. How do I know? It's been a subject of conversation for ages between many people.

Wo, these posts are starting to go off the rails

Couldn't agree more, but you're talking about a world that unfortunately doesn't exist anymore, if it ever did. There are rude and nasty people out there, seemingly more all the time, and to participate in anything these days, in person or online, requires a thick skin and the donning of big-boy pants. Having survived this chaotic environment it for three quarters of a century, I can testify that it's not for the faint of heart. It would be lovely if things were different, if our society was arranged for the solace of the meekest among us, but most of the time it seems like the opposite, designed instead to test the patience and character of even the strongest. So we rise to the challenges as they present themselves, while also doing what we can to move our world closer to the ideal.

It may be time to start a "David C Vintage" thread and lock this one up.

Cool. Do you have any of guys dressing up as Jews with fake noses and yamukas?

I find it interesting that you love it so much, you do realize how black people were treated at the time correct?
What do you think the intention is of those players? Showing their respects to the talented laborers they knew who had great baseballing instincts I imagine.

Discussion of Politics and Religion are verboten on this sub, I'd like to see Race added to the list. Posts like this are a perfect reason why.
