I always love it when an unexpected animal makes an unexpected appearance in an unexpected place.
Of course, I don't want anyone to get hurt, but every so often there is a coyote in Central Park or a whale in the East River. In fact, yesterday morning I was woken up by a VERY LOUD wild turkey in my yard. Now, those aren't terribly rare around here, but I live in a very populated area, so it was quite a surprise to hear it gobbling and awkwardly making its way across my yard.
As it turns out, a gator also made it's way to NJ. However, not the dangerous kind. Unless it's one throwing a baseball with his left hand.
Ron "Gator" Guidry signed two cards that I sent to spring training. Although I hope a few others trickle in, I'll certainly be going out on a high note if none others do.
Gator has a great signature, and I'm pleased to add these to my collection.
Thanks, Mr. Guidry!
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
Nice! I got his signature last week on a ball when I was at Steinbrenner Field!
ReplyDeleteNice looking signature
ReplyDeleteFun post... I actually thought there was a gator spotted in NJ until I kept reading. I didn't know Guidry's nickname was Gator. Fun Stuff.
ReplyDeleteWe occasionally have a deer or coyote come through our neighborhood, but that's it for random wildlife.
Awesome signature! I grew up across from a llama farm so I'm used to weird animals in places they don't belong. But a gator in NJ? That sounds dangerous!!! Glad no one was hurt. Hahaha!
