Saturday was my semi-annual SABR meeting here in Rhode Island (Lajoie Chapter). At the meeting, they had a bunch of 2008 media guides that they'd gotten donated by the teams available free to members.

A whole bunch went, but by the end, a whole bunch were left. I was helping clean up, and they said they were just going to toss them in the dumpster. I couldn't let that happen, so I grabbed all that were left and brought them home.

So, now, I'm making them available to anyone who wants one for the cost of shipping. I picked up some bubble mailers today for 75 cents each, and then hit the post office and found out that one envelope with one media guide in it costs $2.58 to ship via media mail.

So, if anyone would like a 2008 Media Guide from a team listed, it can be yours for $3.33. You can send me a check, send me cash, or I can give you paypal info. Send me a PM and we'll figure it out.

As you can see, I won't make a dime on these (nor a penny), and I checked with the admins before posting this.

Here's the teams and quantities I have available:

St. Louis Cardinals - 12

Philadelphia Phillies - 8

Houston Astros - 34

Detroit Tigers - 7


I'll update the quantities above as they go.

I just couldn't stand to see them get tossed in the trash. I'll keep this thread going for a couple weeks (or until they're all gone), then I'll recycle what's left. Even that's better than chucking them in the dumpster.

FYI....if you want a Media Guide, act soon...I'll make one final trip to the post office on Friday, and anything that isn't spoken for by then will find it's way to my recycling bin (where we can dream about it being made into next years media guides, ballgame tickets, and baseball cards.

My pleasure...anything I can do to help a fellow fan through "the dark times" (the cold winter days that contain no baseball).
