Leap Day Silliness

I think leap days are ridiculous, and while I totally understand the need for them to keep the calendar accurate and the world from imploding or something, everyone always makes such a big deal of the extra day on the calendar. And there's always stories about middle-aged people turning 10, old people turning 20, etc. If you are born on a leap day, what's your legal age? I guess they just consider the blip of time between February 28 and March 1 your special day in a normal year? Silliness, I say.

*Also, I'm on a fixed annual wage and don't see a dime more for the extra day of work. Poppycock.


Anyway, because I don't think much of today's date, here is the most absurd autograph in my collection.


It's Orioles former pitching coach Rick Kranitz pushing a shopping cart with about 19 baseballs in it. Why, Rick, why? Wouldn't a bucket have done the trick? Isn't that standard?

Some Recent Autographs from O's Games

It seems as though Garrett's signing habits have improved as his on-field play continues to stagnate...but this is now the most official Orioles card of his that's in my collection, so I'm happy.


This Jonesy card is now my favorite autograph of his; doesn't it just looks great signed?

I think that this is Kranny's only baseball card. I like how he's listed as a pre-rookie coach. And it's a shame that he is no longer rocking that 'stache.

LUUUUUUUKKKEE is always a great signer whether he hits or not. So I prefer when he's mashing and signing. As opposed to not. This card is tagged for a fellow blogger who is collecting this set. And seriously, does anyone out there want/need anything signed by Luke? He signs at almost every game and I am running low on cards. He is a great guy.
