On the road again

Hey, look at that… two months in a row for a newsletter! Just a few odds and ends as we start ramping up for baseball…

Vacation alert

I’ll be on a plane to Florida on Tuesday – can’t wait to fly these days – but it will be nice to escape the Michigan cold!

As per usual, this means the Book Backlog will be in effect – all orders after March 3 won’t ship until March 12. If you need your book for early spring training, make sure you get the order in by Sunday night please!

Spring Training meetup?

This is a bit of a reach, but if any of you will be in Sarasota, I’ll be attending Pirates @ Orioles at Ed Smith Stadium on Thursday, March 6. It’s a new stadium for me, it looks like a nice ballpark. If anyone wants an impromptu 72DP meetup, email me at eric@72doubleplay.com!

Scorebooks in the wild

Two great pics sent in February, about a billion miles apart from one another. Gabi checking out a WBC Classic game in Taipei is pretty bonkers…

Scratch & dents still available

Thanks to all of you who are helping me clean out my closet. There’s still a few discounted “scratch & dent” books available – the pages are perfectly fine, they are just an ancient design. It’s a hidden item on my store, and y’all still have the first crack at it.

Y’all be good while I’m gone. For those in the midwest, I will try to send you some sunshine. Fingers crossed I can avoid a sunburn at the ballpark.

GO TIGERS!
