Was shopping for Cubs stuff to get my brother for Christmas and just had to buy this for myself.
FWIW, Collectibles of the Game in West Town Mall is AWESOME. Gotta get them to do some Swain And Rucker commercials so I can get some free swag. I could spend $1,000 in there without even thinking about it.

I demand more upvotes for my Andre Dawson throwback.

Always had you pegged as a "Ryno" guy vs the "Hawk".........but that would be awkward for you now.

My dad took me to a game at old Tiger Stadium when I was a kid (circa '93-'94 Tigers vs Red Sox), and as we were walking down the side of the building, a car pulls up and out comes Andre Dawson. I yelled to my dad and said "It's Sammy Sosa!". Dawson cuts me a sharp look and then a smile and a wink. We still laugh about it almost 20 years later.

The "Hawk". I still remember when Eric Show beaned him in the face and Dawson went on a man-hunt to find him in Wrigley.

Remember the first year I really followed the Cubs. Summer of 84' and first year we got cable TV = summer between my freshman-soph yr of h.s. Oh so many memories. The Daily Double= Dernier and Sandberg, The Sarge, The Penguin, The Bull, Moreland and Bowa,Sutcliffe, Eckersly as a starter, Trout, Ruthven and his big chaw,Lee Smith. WGN had the DAY games on every day. Old Harry getting a little happy on the Budwieser. Great summer for me and my childhood. Side note = I wound up naming my son Ryne.

Ron Cey and Rick Reuschel were on that team as well. Along with maybe the worst catcher of all-time Jody Davis (but I like him). Two under the radar guys were Davey Lopes and Billy Hatcher....both went on to have good careers, of course after the Cubs traded them.

Another great place I look is reebok-depot.com .. They have a bunch of jerseys for very cheap because they're all made in China or somewhere. I have bought a half dozen or so and am very happy with them for the most part. You can even get NCAA jerseys. I bought a Montana Notre Dame and a Manning Tennessee jersey.
