It actually was a big deal, since no one hit 50 HR's since George Foster did it in the late 70's. George Foster would call and congratulate Cecil on the feat.Shane Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594769293801380160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-21121823674420462472013-02-22T14:40:12.551-05:002013-02-22T14:40:12.551-05:00Thanks for the link, tourist!

I just d...Wells > Perez, the Diamond Kings guy.<br /><br />I just did a post on 1990 Upper Deck last night. I am linking to this post because it's super funny.<br /><br />That Upper Deck meta-reference is something new. I bet Score included the word "score" in blurbs all the time without parentheses and bold face type. No sir, I don't like it.The Junior Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276740693294231134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-7892052319239041582013-02-21T09:43:01.016-05:002013-02-21T09:43:01.016-05:00You know, Kevin, I think along the way somewhere I...You know, Kevin, I think along the way somewhere I discovered the full name was Vernon Wells, but I thought it was a coincidence. I never realized they were related. I learned something new today, thanks! It must be so difficult to produce a montage portrait of your own son without throwing a little extra effort in there. Like a picture of him batting, fielding, and a third one where he's emerging from the womb. Then again, when your son makes $100 mill and bats like .236, I guess he doesn't need a montage, so maybe the difficulty comes in restraining yourself from producing one at all. Thanks for the comment and info!mkenny59https://www.blogger.com/profile/05234341530938587397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-45016302074962055692013-02-21T09:03:25.501-05:002013-02-21T09:03:25.501-05:00Mike, great work as always.

He also has a son who is famous for being bad enough at baseball to earn over 100 million dollars. Baseball, man.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334533396646438555noreply@blogger.com
