Vintage Mailday from Paul at Wrigley Wax

Before I share this brilliant mailday from Paul at Wrigley Wax. I have to mention that I finally, after thinking about all last year, bought a subscription to MLB Gameday audio. It will mainly be the 1.05pm (being 6.05pm in the UK) and 3.05pm (9.05pm) games that I will be able to listen to and the odd 7.05pm (12.05pm)on the weekends.
At present I am listening to the Red Sox v Bay Rays bottom of the 8th. The Sox are being outclassed by the Bay Rays 12-4. The commentator from 1250WIN Rays Network seems more obssessed about the Sunburnt Red Sox fans than the game. For me it is very interesting to listening to the radio advertisments.
Onto the package that arrived in the week and what a surprise it was. If you read his blog Wrigley Wax, Paul talks about coming back to collecting after a 15 year lay off. I sent him a pile of Cubs cards for trade. Paul sent a magnificent selection of Red Sox from every year from 1969 to 1975.
