- The Christmas Crush is on. Less than 2 weeks to go, and I'm going away for a couple of days during the holiday. I'm going to have to find a way to put 25 posts together to get to the 400 plateau by years end. I know, 3 lines per card, it shouldn't be hard, right?
- This card's scan appears as if it's snowing. Well, it is probably snowing in Cleveland right now.
- Ugh. Career home run #143 was the first of 4 straight home runs off my beloved Blue Jays. This one was hit May 23rd, 1998 off of Roger Clemens, a shot down the left field line in Jacobs Field. It tied the game at 1-1 in the 2nd inning, but Toronto would take over, scoring 2 runs in each of innings 4, 5 and 6 to win 7-2.

- Might be time to break out my old scanner. This scan does absolutely no justice to the card, which looks fantastic in hand. The border is actually silver, not black.
- This might be the first time I really took notice of the registered trademark symbol after the Indians name. Maybe it just stood out for me more than on other cards.
- Jim hit his 131st career homer on the 6th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. It was hit in Chicago off of Keith Foulke, but it wasn't enough as the Tribe lost 7-5. In other action on that day, the Yankees put up a 9 spot on the Orioles in the 6th inning on their way to a 14-2 route.
