Re: The Reds sent me a Christmas Card!

Me too! It said that they hope my holiday is a home run. Does that mean they hope my holiday is overrated or a rally killer?

I don't know if he kept it up in later years, but the late Joe Nuxhall used to send Reds-themed Christmas cards, along with a personal note, to virtually every fan who had written him over the course of a season.

I think they mean that they hope chicks dig your holiday.

Re: The Reds sent me a Christmas Card!

I got one. I thought it was because I did work for them at the station.

Apparantely, I'm not special.

I got that too. It's a cute card and kudos to the boy who designed it.

Re: The Reds sent me a Christmas Card!

Hey! I didn't get one!
That does it, I'm returning the clone I made from one of Greg Maddox's nose hairs. Or was it Mike Maddox?
