Eric, I just found this blog tonight. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI know you are already 99 posts into the blog, but a helpful addition would be to include the players named in the posts as labels, so we could drill down your sidebar to find out every transaction involving, say for example, George Brunet.
Good job! (Hope to see your '74 football cards soon.)
Thank you Jim! I have the names in the individual posts, but there were far too many for the 99th and 100th. As soon as I can get a scanner working again, I will get the football cards going again!
