Who are we?

Introduction to our life

Welcome to our blog.  My husband, Greg, and I decided that we would start this blog about our passion for baseball.  We are lifelong Philadelphia Phillies fans.  There hasn't been a time either of us can remember where baseball wasn't in our lives in some fashion.  Our baseball fever has escalated over time and now most of our kids are fans.  Our youngest daughter, Rory, who is 4, can name just about every team by their logos and has pronounced herself a Milwaukee Brewers fan.  Our oldest daughter, Hailey, who is 13, is a Shane Victorino fan. Our youngest son, Collin, who is 6, loves to play in the backyard.  He calls himself "ColeGate" because he wanted a nickname like the Phillies get.  Greg and I love to watch anything baseball, talk anything baseball, collect any baseball card we can get our hands on.  Collecting cards and watching games has reinvigorated our friendship and we hope to share that with anyone who reads this.

While my wife, Holly, will give the female/wifes point of view on baseball I will try and give a different version. Not the quote "Mans" unquote point of view, just a different view. I will be doing more of the baseball card and stats perspective.
Our passion about baseball goes further back then how long we have known each other, the baseball card side of things is brand new. We started collecting after seeing the Topps 60th Anniversary special on MLBnetwork. It showed how much cards and collecting have changed over the years, and we were more then happy to be sucked into the world of cards. Our collection grows every day, and now we own some pretty decent cards. She is a huge Phillies fan, but likes to collect Tim Lincecum, I on the other hand just like any Phillies. I prefer guys like Ibanez or Pence, for the simple fact that everyone says they are nice guys. Sometimes nice guys do finish first.
We will try and give a update after most games and try to give a better breakdown weekly. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
