My best friend's nephew was drafted by the Houston Texans last Saturday, so I decided to add three players (all football) to whom I have someconnection to my player collection. Connor Barwin, Craig Krenzel (went tomy high school and his aunt & uncle live across the street), and Jerome Bettis (his cousin and my wife work together). So, if anyone has any Krenzelof Bettis cards that are taking up space, or come across any Barwin rookiecards this fall, I'd be happy to take them off your hands.

Darryl probably was one, if not the number one player that had such a bright future and let the lime light get to him and he went no where. I once saw him hit a homerun ball at the Exposs' ball park that hit the ring at the utmost highest point in the ball park, almost hitting it out of this dome park and it looked like he dented the place the ball hit. It had tobe 500+ feet..just amazing raw power. Darryl just came out with a Book called finding my Way, I was going to buythis book but Bob D'Angelo must of somehow knew this as the book arrived in my mailbox yesterday. Bob, Thank you so much for the Book..How did you know I wanted it? Happy Trading, Kevin Martens
