The Quest

The Baltimore Orioles have been in town since '54 and have had over 900 men don their uniform. My goal is to obtain a signed card of each player. If you have something I need, or see something you want, don't be shy, we can make a deal.

Collection Statistics

Total Players 877/977 = 89.25%
1991 Orioles Crown Set
Total Players 309/465 = 66.45%
Alive Players 274/369 = 74.25

Bad Orioles Fan

I have not been the devotee that I typically am this time of year. I can usually be found glued to the television or listening to a broadcast of my beloved Birds, but not yet. I missed Friday and Saturday's wins while spending time with my sick wife and the Orioles were not on my patients watch list.

Today I tried to make amends for my transgressions, catching the second half of their third victory in a bar. I was chastised by my friends and almost had my opening day privileges revoked. But, because the Orioles pulled out a win while I was watching, I will be allowed into Camden Yards tomorrow to watch the home opener.

Hopefully wifey will be well enough to go with me. I have a bunch of new players to try and get signed.

I ask the blogosphere for forgivemess.
