Few News Bytes From World of Baseball Net (fishing directory)
No commentsBy James Stewart
Sometimes people that absolutely despise each other can indeed be successful within the baseball net of possibilities. Look at the way Rob Dibble and Lou Pinella disagreed with one another enough for Pinella to attack Dibble in the locker room. The baseball net of strange occurrences still allowed the Reds to win a World Series during that time period and for Dibble to be one of the main horses Pinella would call upon as he was attempting a cast a baseball net towards victory. Pinella would admit that despite Dibble’s anger and a general dislike for one another that within the baseball net of skilled players there are few pitchers who could throw a fastball harder than Rob Dibble. Dibble is also one of the few players within the baseball net of history who was also to strike three batters out on nine consecutive pitches.
There have been other situations where the baseball net of dislike has shown up on successful teams. You certainly can’t tell anyone who is a fan of the game that it is within the baseball net of possibility that Billy Martin and Reggie Jackson always got along despite having some successful seasons working together. Baseball fans in Miami and fans of the Marlins certainly felt that owner Wayne Huizenga had cast a baseball net of disdain upon them after trading off most of their World Series winning team under manager Jim Leyland. It is unclear whether Leyland wants to cast the same baseball net of disdain upon Huizenga for selling off most of the team following the season. Sometimes the baseball net of karma has a tendency to strike a franchise after they have a fire sale of talent like that, but the baseball net of negative things really hasn’t hit the Marlins more than usual.
They did win a World Series since that first championship. Of course Huizenga is no longer the owner. The baseball net of good luck must not want to wish too much misfortune upon the Marlins.

The History of The National Sports Collectors Convention
By Frank James Howard
Almost 30 years ago a group of sports memorabilia collectors came together at the Marriott at the Los Angeles International Airport for what later became known as the First National Sports Collectors Convention. That meeting evolved into the annual spectacular that is now the number one meeting place for the entire sports collectibles industry. In hopes of increasing attendance at the event the pioneers of The National Convention decided that it should take place at various locations so that collectors from all corners of the continent could take part in the event. In the early going, The National Convention occurred in Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, and the New York metro area.
The National Sports Collectors Convention has since experienced a considerable degree of growth, becoming a colossal event that can only be hosted by a small number of places in the country. However, the meeting still pulls in people from every corner of the sports memorabilia and sports card industry. It is the only event where the majority of the people in the hobby come together to meet in one place. The National is where every sports card wants to be , largely due to all of the support from major sports card manufacturers, card appraising services, auction houses, and these groups’ licensees.
The 30th annual National Sports Collectors Convention happened in late July in Ohio, at the Cleveland’s International Exposition Center. Reviews of the event were glowing from visitors, licensors, manufacturers, and exhibitors. The 31th National is already being organized for 2010, when sports card collectors will unite in Baltimore, Maryland for the show.
The National Convetion’s list of autograph guests are legendary. In years past, the National has featured an unparalleled list of superstar autograph attendees. Among the many big names to have signed at The Show are Wayne Gretzky, Cal Ripken Jr., Wilt Chamberlain, Joe Namath, Shaquille O’Neal, Mickey Mantle, Ferguson Jenkins, Joe Dimaggio, Magic Johnson , as well as a seemingly endless procession of other great athletes. In recent years, the National’s Autograph Pavillion has added personalities from the entertainment world. Non-sports autograph signers who have attended the show in the past include Penny Marshall, Erin Moran, David Faustino, Jon Provost, Cindy Williams, Jerry Ferrara and even the rock group KISS.
The National is the most extensive sports collectibles event with the greatest tradition, the most exciting autograph signers, the widest array of sports card dealers, and the largest inventory of sports cards and memorabilia, all in one place. People have taken to saying, “If you can’t find what you’re looking for at the National, it probably doesn’t exist!” The National is where every collector, distributor, licensor, manufacturer, and dealer will be in 2010 to take part in the biggest sports card event of the year.
