I only got 1 autograph this whole year. that must have been biggio?

you two should add yours, I know you have stuff.

I tried to look up the thread from before the season started, but I can't find it. Anyway, I know that I added a lot more stuff to my collection through the season, and I'm guessing everyone else did too. No one cares how big or small your collection is, we want to see a lot of them. I will start-- Here is a shot of when you first walk into my room, I have every Brewers SGA except the blue money, to the right of the bobbles are signed photos of A. J. Hawk, Brett Favre, and Joe Thomas, to the left of the bobbles is a Miller High Life metal sign, and the sports page newspaper from Sheets' 18 K game: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/100_2643.jpghttp://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/100_2650.jpghttp://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/100_2651.jpg To the right of the bobbles is a window sill where my signed baseballs are, I won't list them all, but the best are Russell Martin, Rollie Fingers, Bob Uecker, Matt Cain, and Marty Brennaman. Then to the right of the baseballs is a game used snappers hat of Joe Benson that he gave to me after they were eliminated in the finals, he is the guy in my avatar: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/100_2642.jpg Then to the right of the window is my BP worn Bill Hall signed jersey, that blank spot is where I will put the signed magazines that I have, but I need to get them framed, then there is the Fielder signed 16x20, and Robin Yount plaque: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/100_2648.jpg And this is all of my signed photos, except a few, there are 5x7's on one wall, and 8x10's on the other: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/100_2646.jpg Then to the right of those are my Robin Yount drawing, Miller Park poster, Miller Park Scorecard, Daron Sutton signed stickerhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif, Bill Hall game used signed helmet, Negro Leagues signed poster, and a 2008 GPBL calendar. I got this from a lady who played in 50-51 for Kenosha. She was a catcher and she dedicated it to me and signed it, it is really cool:http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/100_2647.jpg Under that calendar is my Bush stadium seat: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/100_2652.jpg Then to the left of my bobble display is this wall. It has signed photos of Villanueva, Suppan, Bush, Gwynn, Graffanino, Yost (x2), Mench, and Wise. The jersey in the middle is a signed 2005 All Star jersey of Lee. Above the Jersey are three card plaques, two are signed cards of Hall and Hardy, and on the right is a "Thunder and Lightning" with Mathews and Spahn cards: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/100_2644.jpg Here is a close up of those bats, three of them are store bought bats signed by Weeks, Hart, and Hall, the two on the right were game used by Gorkys Hernandez and Joe Benson, both of them are signed also: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/100_2645.jpg And here is a photo of that whole corner: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/100_2653.jpg Let's see everyone elses collections!

that seeped out of the young third baseman. In fact, Melvin said Braun had contacted him from time to time while in the minors just to make sure he wasn't being forgotten. "Hey, I'm still down here," Braun would say to the GM. "You see the numbers I'm putting up down here? Well, I could be doing that in the big leagues, too." That is terrible, I hope he doesn't get to cocky, I have never heard of anyone doing that before. If I were Melvin I would have talked to him myself, and he probably did. thanks for the article.

lol! That's gotta be the funniest exchange I've seen. BHF what?

busch was great, we used to live in southern illinois, and st. louis was the closest team, other than the evansville otters... but it was great to go back, in left field, it looks really bad because where old busch was there is just a huge hole with fencing around it, the prices were really bad, we always sit in the upper level because we are cheap, and we got tickets for $50 a piece, but that might of had something to do with them winning the world series in 06, we went in 07. I don't know what they are going to do with that huge space, I know years and years ago when we used to live down there they talked about a new stadium being built and the plans were to have a whole baseball village and around the park there would be an aquarium and mall and hotel, but I think once something goes up, it will look really, really cool, here is a shot, and you can kind of see the huge hole: before those buildings in left is where the hole is: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/Ballpark%20Trips/ballparktrip3092.jpg you can see the dirt out there.

bball, is shea a piece of crap? I've heard it is. We plan to go to the New Yorks and Boston next year, plus the hall?

ya, that is in philly, I really liked that park. We had a great time in Philadelphia, we saw Arizona play. And in Philadelphia, they let you in early if you go in the left field bleachers, but you have to stay there. Well I went in the second deck of LF and caught on the fly an Eric Byrnes home run, and after I caught that, I walked around to take pictures. The people in Philadelphia were extremely nice. I always wear Brewers stuff no matter what game I go to, and when I was buying a program the guy told me that I had the wrong shirt on, and I said that I was from Wisconsin. And he gave me a free cooler because I came that far. And I was talking to a couple Philles fans and they were telling me how they loved it when the Brewers were there, he said that Fielder was hitting some of the farthest homers in bp he has ever seen. Now I took that picture from a pavilion that they have in center field, you can walk up there and there are restaurants and bars, and also seats, center field is really cool there, in this picture behind the batters eye, which is to the right of the picture, they have two other brick walls and they have history on them, you can see the pavilion where I took that picture to the left. Philadelphia was really nice too, they have the arena and football stadium there too, so everything is in one spot. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/Ballpark%20Trips/BallparkTrip2041.jpg

2hoophead, that is the only place i have been except county stadium, where I didn't take pictures, but i plan to go again. it is my favorite park, by far. but fenway is next year

I don't want to give up Mat Gamel for Randy Winn.

patrick, i must be a moron, i don't get it? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/42/MO-145.svg/706px-MO-145.svg.png

you don't have anything smaller than 3X?

this is a shame imo, umps are part of the game, I am not a fan of instant replay in any sport, unless it is an official review.

i wouldn't sell them yet, wait until next year during the season and you will get better prices, and if I were you, I would sell them individually, i think you would make more money that way, but that is just me.

My Dad and I go on ballpark trips each year, small ones, and even though I have a crappy camera, I like to get pictures of each place I go to, this year, I got this at Kauffman: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/Ballpark%20Trips/ballparktrip3067.jpg I also use this one, Field Of Dreams is a great place to visit if you haven't gone, and it is free, but money and greed has kind of made it a little worse: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/Ballpark%20Trips/ballparktrip3005.jpg And I took this one in 2006, I like this one a lot, don't know why, just an interesting angle I guess: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e378/billyhallfan/Ballpark%20Trips/MillerPark010.jpg Anyone else have any others they would like to share, I really need a new wallpaper.

i can't see that photo hawing?

Given the building the team heavy on youth theme, I'd go with either Howie Kedrick or Dustin Pedroia. not even a thought for callaspo?
