Danny, our neighbor from across the street was cleaning out his garage, he knew I was a Rockies fan so he gave me a box of his Rockies stuff, here’s what was inside.

I’m not just a Rockies fan, I’m also a Cubs & Yankees fan —but my heart and soul belongs to the Rockies— I just about fainted when I saw those Yankees photos, I’ve never got a chance to collect anything Yankees from that era, now I have at least one thing.

Latest editions to my Rockies collection

My Ubaldo Jimenez Bobble head broke for the 2nd ‘n last time so I moved him, now Tulo bobble head #2 broke his hand and index finger so he gets moved and just to be on the safe side so Todd, Cargo, Tulo #1 and my Jack ‘n Jeff bobble heads don’t break they got moved as well.

Here’s where I moved them to:

I wanted to post this on my Rockies Memorabilia mlblog “Rockpile of Memories” but I cannot log into it & have contacted MLBlogs support about the matter, I’m waiting for a reply, if there’s nothing they can do about it then I’ll have to move the blog to Blogspot.

in the meantime here is the video I took using my new digital camera –you heard it, digital camera– albeit the video ain’t long like it would be with a video camera (which I have but I don’t have a USB connector plug for it & IDK if it’ll record with just the memory chip not video tape)– it’s in 2 parts & I know I missed out on some of the collection I’ll try it again another time.

Part 1

Part 2

a special message from me to you all!

The Rockies season of 2010 came to a close as the boys gets swept by the Dodgers at home, eliminated from any playoff chances they had in winning the Division or Wild Card. There’s always next year (like they say) let’s hope it’s better.
