I think its worth it regardless of your favorite team but why would you have to pay $500. That sounds fishy! Its a once in a life time opportunity. do it!

its a nice card, and they[ card companies and dealers] would have you think  it's a treasure[ unless you are trying to sell it to them]  but there are a lot around... how many "chips" do you think you can get off 1 bat... a thousand?? and consider the language, "....A bat used in the ws"... there must have been 100 bats used legitimately in the ws, and often the card companies make arragements for a player to use a diffrent bat each time at bat and maybe 1 bat for every swing in practice before the game... they hold special games jus so players can keep changing uniforms evey inning , then they sell the uniforms or pieces of them as "game worn".... i saw it on "60 minuts" or some show like that.\n  all that said , it still a cool card to keep and pass on to your children... anyway ive bought plenty of cards like that from dealers for $5... and i'm sure i overpaid.... yes feel good you got the card  keep it in good condition for your grand children.

There is nothing you can do. You are going to fall behind your peers. Baseball is a team game. Just make sure that you maintain your arm strength.

I couldn't quite infer from your question if you're the one that's African American who's thinking of trying out?  If its you, I'd say give it a shot regardless of who is on the team.  Hopefully they'd give you a fair shot, and from what you've said about your hitting, I'd think they'd be crazy not to find a spot for you.\n\nSpecifically regarding the racial disparity of women's softball, I've never known that there was a disparity.  I'm not a huge fan of it, so maybe I just haven't noticed.  Regardless, I don't think it would be awkward so long as your comfortable with yourself and you're able to focus on the game without dwelling on it.  I actually just got back from a hockey game tonight with the San Jose Sharks, and they have an African American on their team (Grier) that has had to deal with the same thing his whole life.  Although I remember him being a lot better than what he showed tonight, he's always been very good and fit right in over the course of his career.\n\nI say "go for it!"  Good Luck!

Buy it form Kenny Williams (White SOX GM)\n\nBut seriously, the Chi-Trib (owners of the cubs) only care about the money.  So as long as those cheap polish pricks own the cubs, they will never win the world series.\n\nBut a good start would be to get rid of Dusty Baker, and let the billy goat into a game.

The Cubs have a habit of going for personality over the team. Sosa is a perfect example. He was never a good player, just a showy player and he did more to kill the Cubs one year than he did to help them into the race. \n\nThink about this years lineup.  Pierre is a good hitter. I havn't seen him play so I cannot comment about his defense and I'm too lazy too look up relitive chances compared to other center fielders right now :) He is also young. So he seems like a good aquisistion. \n\nTodd Walker is a great filler player. Perfect for a contender with a hole at 2nd. He's a good hitter for a second baseman and has sure hands but limited range. Never going to be a great hitter. He's in his prime. Though for the Cubs he really didn't make sense as they are not really contenders and could have gone with an inexpensive prospect who might turn into a great player for far less. \n\nDerrek Lee has steriod baby written all over him. He was a stupid signing. He'd struggled his entire career and is far too old to be a prospect. That he suddenly developed power and learned how to hit just screams steroids. That he'll continue his 05 success is very unlikely. Being lucky enough to get such returns off such a dismal prospect the Cubs should have dealt him to the first idiot who'd give them real talent for him. \n\nJones was a solid outfielder. A great filler player for a contender or somebody to occupy space for a celler dweller. It's been two years since he had a decent year much less a good one. Jones is probably done, if he isn't he likely doesn't have many good years left. A really poor risk for the Cubs. The ABs are wasted on Jones. They should be used finding future outfielders. \n\nBarrett hits well for a catcher but struggles with defense and handling of pitchers. He's still young enough to learn but the Expos tried him at various posisitions for a reason. It turns out that he doesn't hit better with the tools of ignorance off. So he is a catcher who needs a great deal of work. \n\nAramis Ramirez is a good third baseman. Good bat, weak glove but overall an excellent pickup and the kind of player the Cubs need to look for. He's still young and has his best years ahead of him. Quiet, does his job. \n\nRonny Cedeno has a promising bat and good fielding percentages. This is the kind of player the Cubs should be giving a chance to play. Not the Jones. \n\nMatt Murton another good promising youngster. Again the Cubs should be playing people like Murton. \n\nPitching is old or ineffective and that is the Cub's greatest weakeness. Maddux is not the Cy Young winning Maddux. This is the career stat building inning filler that the Cubs have. Hardly an ace.  Carlos Zambrano shows the potential to be one and is at worst a good #2 kind of pitcher. For the Cubs to compete they need a healthy Wood and Prior. Both of which have had such consistnat injury problems that it will probably never happen. If you have good reserves you can afford to carry a starter like that. Carrying two and both of those being your best starters. Thats a problem. \n\nDempster makes an unlikely closer but seems to be doing a good job at it. \n\nSo this year no, they have little chance at doing much. Next year? Not without a major makeover. The Cubs are too relient on washed up vets right now. As long as they are they'll get medicore results. While removing those vets could cause them to lose lots of game it could also win lots of games. Playing it safe assures a nice run at .500 with little hope for more. The Cubs need to dump Lee and Jones. Pick up a #1 starter if possible or develop good young talent. If Woods and or Prior ever pitch well and can beat injury problems thats awesome but the Cubs have to assume they never will again and hope to be pleasently surprised. \n\nIf the Cubs do what they've done over the last several years they will play it safe thus making sure are safe from going to the World

Do what the Red Sox did. Fire the coach from last year, trade your best player, and get a long haired guy to bat 1st.

I wouldnt do it either.  I like Hawpe i have him on my team.  Bonds is inconsistent and takes many days off. Hoffman also closes for San Diego who is not gonna win a lot of games.  He will have a low era though.

Take me out to the ballgame.
