I'd like to wish a very happy birthday to one of my favorite bloggers/traders, Doug of Sports Cards From the Dollar Store! His happens to be very easy to remember since he so publicly collects cards of guys that share his February 14 birthday. His posts from yesterday and today provide a few glimpses into that collection, if you're interested. Athletes that fall into that category include (click the sport for all players):
Baseball:
Derek Norris
Takashi Saito
Dave Dravecky
Basketball:
Rip Hamilton
Gheorghe Muresan
Byron Mullens
Football:
Drew Bledsoe
Steve McNair
Jim Kelly
Harry Colon
Patrick Ramsey
David Garrard
Hockey:
Calle Johansson
Petr Svoboda
Viktor Kozlov
Marian Gaborik
Petr Mrazek
So in honor of this hoser's birthday, send him a bunch of 2/14 stuff! I'm currently in the process of doing just that, and hopefully you'll see the results on his blog in just a few weeks. Also, so this post isn't card-less, here's one of a player we both collect, another guy celebrating today:
And just for fun, who are the best athletes or other celebrities that share YOUR birthday? Leave me some fun comments! Mine include Bartolo Colon (ugh), Jason Babin, Joe Dumars and future MLB star Tracy McGrady, and Pat Verbeek and Kris Draper, plus actors John C. Reilly, Alfred Molina, Jim Broadbent, and music legend Bob Dylan.
