SDSU Jersey

First off, the Cyber Monday post has 41 hits on it. I think it has the most views on this blog since it started. Even better is that I didn't buy anything.  I'm still getting emails about deals and I'll probably make another post if anything stands out.

I have a backlog of items to post because I just got a few things in the mail.

The Living Ruins of SDCCU Stadium

Once upon a time, there was a professional football team that played in San Diego. For many years, they took on teams from Oakland, LA, Denver, and Kansas City. But one day, they left without a trace. I heard rumors about another team in San Diego that played football in the ruins of the previous team's stadium. I had to investigate.

Happy Thanksgiving

Lakers Big and Tall Men's Reflective Track Jacket

I have a bunch of things to post before the year ends. I bought a jersey from a store online and I am the top bid on an auction on eBay. I also have a bunch of shirts to post on here.

I may as well start with this:

What if the Dodgers had won the World Series?

The Houston Astros won the World Series a few weeks ago and there was merchandise produced for both teams if they won. Here's what the Dodgers World Series gear would have looked like according to SportsLogos.

RIP Roy Halladay

This isn't a post about merchandise. This is a story.

Roy Halladay died in a plane crash earlier today. He was a great pitcher with the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies. Back when the Phillies were good and Mike Zagurski was on the team, I would watch their games. I was really happy when they acquired Halladay from the Blue Jays.

My first trek down San Diego was to see the Phillies for the first time play against the Padres. I was so lucky that day because Roy was pitching. The Padres had Petco Park configured so that the away team's bullpen was along the first base side. On my first trip there, I watched Halladay get ready up close. You could tell how intense and focused he was throwing each pitch. While he was throwing, fans would come up to the railing and take pictures of him or selfies. I took two pictures of him.

 The Phillies won that game 3-1. Roy had pitched eight shutout innings till I decided to move to lower bowl and the Padres hit a couple of his pitches. He struck out fourteen batters on that day.
