Blog Of The Year

I was humbled to see I had a nomination and two votes on Jaybarkerfan’s Junk for blog of the year.   First, thank you to Justin’s World for the nomination.    Your check is in the mail.    I nominated Bob Lemke’s Blog, although I can think of about 10 blogs off the top of my head that are worthy.  

As for the two votes, I think either my mother must have found out I had a blog, or more likely, since my blog is right above Night Owl on the poll, I likely picked up a couple of “fat finger” votes that were meant to go to him.  If my votes are not the result of either of those two scenarios, then there is only one other possibility:

I AM THE GREATEST BLOGGER WHO EVER LIVED.
I’ve been reading many of the responses to the idea of a “Best Blog” award.  I agree that it’s a tough thing to define.   There are so many types of baseball card blogs out there.  What makes one better than another?  But, if the Academy awards can have a “Best Picture” why can’t we choose a “Best Blog” award?  However, the Academy awards also recognize achievement in particular niches of film as well.  We should do the same in the baseball card blog universe.   I’ve created some sub categories and have already picked winners.  I’m not going to open this up for nominations or discussion.  My word is final.

I just nominated you for ROY blog, for your innovative creation of Brycemas, among other things.

I also nominate you for the most Napkin-related blog name.

I disagree with you sir, on but one category: I have the hottest wife.

Oh, and thanks a lot for outing me on my plan for world domination... if it wasn't for those pesky kids...

Big thanks Nappy for giving me my first award! The new year is off to a great start!

And I usually don't do this, but the word verification is too good not to share: "butfigly"

Hm. If I'm busy scoring with hot asian chicks, I won't have time to write! You're trying to get rid of me, aren't you! I see through your evil plans! Hah!
