On this day: September 16th.

 I was born for one, for me that was a really big deal. But there were some other things that happened on 9/16. But first a tribute to me, LOL.

Yep 57 today. Time to start living the "high life"

It is certainly Miller time.

Okay I had to put at least one baseball card out there. Keep in mind I do have a couple of birthday binders just for 9/16. Maybe next year I will have reorganized them and updated the collection, then scanned, yeah next year sounds good to get that done. Until then there is this:
