to continue the theme week from my other blog, today we're concentrating on the word of the day.
Generosity.
At the last trade night, I got a baseball card given to me gratis. Nothing unusual about that, except this is no ordinary card.
Dale Murphy. M.V.P.
a little story behind it.... someone pulled it from a pack. Of course those who were gathered around at the time saw this and started Ooohing and Aaahing and calling my name.
At certain times of the evening, that's a good thing.
At trade night with a bunch of dudes.... not so much.
It only means someone pulled a card I want that I probably can't afford.
Anyways, the card was brought over for me to see by a buddy of mine.... after drooling I announceed to the room in general (as I had no idea who pulled it) that I would DEFINATELY want to trade for it.
Ten minutes later someone brought the card back and handed it to me.
Turns out they had a trade going with the person who pulled it,and had them throw in the card in the deal. They then gave it to me, gratis.
That was a pretty good way to start out trade night.
Apparently there is also a Chipper just like this one that I need to track down. I betcha that one won't be gratis.
Ah well..... it's all in the chase.
My pal Jamie also pulled a card for me. Rather than fling it across the room in anger, he gives me his Cowboy pulls.
This from last trade night....
Thanks guys!
