Just an idea - - -
you know you can get NetShrine Merchandise @ http://www.cafepress.com/cp/store/st...reid=netshrine But, did you know that cafepress offers the ability to buy an item, and have it shipped to another person with a gift note? Tis' true. I've done it at least six times already - - it's easy. Would it not be cool for you, and good for this site, if you sent your favorite baseball player (majors or minors) a NetShrine Shirt - or sent your favorite front office or media person a NetShrine Mug? Players live for the free shirt. Even if they just wear it for workouts. Imagine if, after you sent your favorite player a NetShrine Shirt, he went on a wildly good streak. Being the way players are, he'd probably want to keep wearing the shirt under his uni until the streak was over. You would not get a kick out of hearing your player being interviewed about the shirt and saying something like "I got this in the mail from a great fan named [your name] and I'm not taking it off while I'm on this hot streak"? You don't need the players home address to get this done - - send it to them c/o their team - - like Roberto Alomar c/o NY Mets, etc. or Mike Sweeney c/o KC Royals............ Same thing with the execs or media folk. Send Harold Reynolds a mug c/o ESPN at...............get it? Anyone willing to do something nice for this site and their favorite baseball person? I will say this - now that I've thought of the the idea, I will be sending out some shirts, etc. as I can. Try it - could be a lot of fun!

Just thought of this - - good to remember!
Most players today are big men - - over 6' and 200 lbs. If you send them a shirt, make it one that will fit. Nothing worse than getting a free shirt that's too small...............

It cost less than 20 bucks total to send and $20 is a small price to pay to help a site the quality of Netshrine.

Posting to
a. Push up this thread, and b. ask all to make a post here only if they have sent a NetShrine item to a player or person and request that you say "who" here. I was just asked by a member if someone was sent something, because they want to send something (but don't want to dupe the person, if something has already been sent). Anyone?
