G'day guys!
I'm a Dodger fan since 1987 (Officially since 1989, when I first went there) and have been collecting baseball cards ever since. I think this year is the most excited I've felt for my team since 1991! That was the year Darryl Strawberry and Brett Butler came to town.
I can't wait for the 2013 season to start - I'd like to think my team can make it to the World Series, but the defending champs, The Giants, will have something to say about that. Also, I'd keep an eye on Washington. They're the best young team in the MLB, and they have all the parts in place to form a dynasty. Also, the cross-town Angels in the A.L. will be nearly impossible to beat. They've got the best all-round player in MLB (Mike Trout), the best hitter this century (Pujols) and the most dangerous streak hitter in the last 5 years (Hamilton). Their pitching may need some work, but it's still very good, particularly in that League.
If you need any advice about baseball cards, don't hesitate to ask me. I may not know everything about them, but I've got a pretty good stash of over 120,000 cards, and 25 years worth of collecting the little pieces of cardboard.
Can't wait to get this thread cranking during the 2013 season! Let the friendly banter begin!
