Moving day

My family and I are moving to a new home today and tomorrow so I'm not sure if I'll be posting very much.

But in the meantime, here's a little game for you.

The street number of our new home is one of major significance in baseball history. Guess the number and its baseball significance and I'll send you some free cards. Post your guess below and enter as many times as you like.

  1. May your all of your boxes arrive intact, the furniture in one piece, the unpacking go smoothly, and may your new home become full of wonderful memories (and lots of space for cards of course). As for a guess, I'll go with 1947, but I'm certain I'm wrong.

  7. 4256 - Pete Rose?
    61 - Roger Maris? Ah, these ones are already guessed!

    Well, let's see. Every house I've ever lived at has had a 3 digit address, so lets go witttth... 406. Ted Williams, the last 400 hitter in the majors. How about 2632 for Ripken's game streak.

    I bet it's 1869 though. You're clever like that.

  8. 755 Aaron record or 611 Cy Young Wins

  9. Night owl got it! 42 is the most significant number in baseball history due what Jackie Robinson's introduction into the game meant not only for the culture of baseball but the culture of America.

    I give MrsTooth credit too since her guess was getting at the same thing--1947 was the year of his debut.

    Night Owl, I'll get some cards out to you. MrsTooth--email me at 88topps at gmail dot com and tell me your mailing address and favorite team.
