Of course Nolan Ryan had nasty shit as a pitcher. Of course the threw upper 90’s, but he also worked his ass off. Mechanics, release points, running constantly you name it. There’s plenty of athletes who were born with crazy talent, but you still have to work at it to perfect your credit. 

Just like you and I. We all have great talents but we have to work on them to be and more importantly remain successful. If you start a business and it takes off, you still have to grind and bust your ass to remain in the green. Plain and simple. Just because you have talent doesn’t mean you can go through the motions. 

Bobble of the Day “Mr. Met”

by | May 31, 2017 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Mascot: Mr. Met

Team: New York Mets

Year: 2008

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

There’s so many Mr. Met bobbleheads out there that it’s extremely hard to collect them all. Between SGA’s and retail one’s to obtain all of them is quite difficult. This one in particular I like a lot. Mr. Met himself has his standard pose of holding his arms out but the base is what makes this bobble so special.

The lower perimeter of the base is Met orange with a blue background. Of course, Mr. Met’s name is raised letters and it pops. The base theme on top is considered “On Field” as the Mets logo is raised up on the right side as a platform. He’s standing on another Mets logo and overall the detail is very precise. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: This one is not flashy by any means but it’s unique in it’s own way. A very tough find to track down on the open market and if you do happen to score it, it’s gonna run you well over $100.00. A must have for a Mets collector but not so much if you’re not a Mets fan. Given the uniqueness and rarity, Mr. Met “On Field” 2008 bobble scores a 7.5.

People die for you to live free. Remember that. 

Armed forces, Navy Seal you name it. They provide security for you and I. We can bitch and moan if we had a bad day or or we moan if our package from Amazon Prime has not arrived in time, but there’s soldiers in other countries fighting war for us to live. No matter how much we say that we respect and thank those people, a thank you is not enough most times. They chose to go into the line of battle and they fight hard for us. If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t live like we do in America. Be humble and grateful for what we have. 

Bobble of the Day “Star Wars Revenge of the Fish”

Bobble of the Day

Theme: Star Wars “Revenge of the Fish”

Team: Altoona Curve

Year: 2017

Manufacturer:

So here we have a new Star Wars bobblehead that was given away a few weeks ago by the Altoona Curve. I have absolutely no idea what this bobblehead is about regarding the “Revenge of the Fish”. I’m assuming it has something to do with a Star Wars movie but I’m not sure. I don’t even really care but it is a cool bobble.

The base is all green and “Revenge of the Fish” is highlighted in white raised letters against the front of the base. The fish is in a Jedi stance ready to swing his red light saber. The black cloak that is around him is complemented with red shoes, bright yellow hands and a red undershirt. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: The head is kind of weird as his eyes are on the sides of his head like a fish and it resembles a big ole round ball. For those who can’t see it, this bobble doesn’t bobble from the head. It’s a body bobble in which the spring is in his waist. 

For some reason collector’s are paying big bucks for this one as it’s price range has gone well over $100.00 on ebay. Given the fact that I don’t know shit about this one and at the same time it’s different, the Fish scores a 7.0. If any of you Snipers know more about this bobble please let me know.

How do you think Miguel Cabrera became so good at hitting a baseball? He worked!

Simple as that guys. He worked and worked and worked. Countless hours in the cage. Countless hours studying film on ALL pitchers including relievers and not just starting pitchers. Why do you think he won the Triple Crown a few years ago? He worked. How is he so good at hitting to both sides of the field? He worked. Plain and simple. And if you want to become a master at your craft you MUST put in the work!
