My name seems pretty self explanatory ... but here is the story. My grandfather was my boyhood idol ... his favorite team was the Cardinals. I grew up a Royals fan living in Southwest Kansas. One day in the early '90s our town of about 35,000 people was told that some former Cardinals players were coming to town for a golf tournament and that they were going to set up at the community college to sign free autographs. The list of players included Stan Musial, Red Schoendist, Al Hrabosky and Mike Shannon. Each player signed whatever you wanted them to, as many items as you asked and the fee was zero. Not only that, they took the time to greet each and every fan that showed up, talked to them, shook hands and signed until the line was gone. I had taken my daughter and son there that day and the attention that the retired players gave my kids was amazing. I moved to the Denver metro area shortly thereafter and started collecting autographs (paying for them at shows). To this day, the attention that Stan, Red, Al and Mike gave the fans I have not witnessed again. I have had some that were close (Jack Ham (Steelers), Karl Mecklenburg (Broncos) and Ben Davidson (Raiders)) but more common these days is the "Shannon Sharpe" treatment. Needless to say ... I won't be creating a Shannon Sharpe account.

Later Stan came to Denver and I met him again ... and happily paid to have him sign a 16x20.

I swear youth pastors always give acronym-syllable nicknames!

Mine was actually origionally not for the cite. When I was little, a pokemon was a huge fad, I collected cards. I had fantastic cards, and the kids at school dubbed me with the name The collecting kid, don't know why, just that's what I was called during card battles and such. So I just randomly thought up of it eacause of my childhood. I am not dubbed that name anymore, as I am dubbed these names:
School-Johnny
Home-whatever
Basketball- J-Wall (yes, after John Wall, a kid said it and it stuck).
Soccer- Johnny Rocket (not the resaurant, I am supremely fast and got this nickname)
BUNT/KICK/HUDDLE- THECOLLECTORGUY due to my childhood past of pokemon

[captcatfish]

Captain Catfish was a old maintenance guy who worked at my camp. Nobody ever knew his real name but he was a crazy character. He rode around on an old bike with a basket on front(never anything in the basket)and smoked cigars all day (literally you could smell his cigars from across camp). He also wore a sailor's hat (hence the captain)and wore knee pads all day and had a funny mustache.

Brandon Moss (believe it or not) was on the Pirates a while ago, and his number was 44 and I started using it on various forums and I just figured I'd use it on bunt.

Haha Brandon Moss is arguably one of my favorite players that's not a Phillie after I went to a minor league game in 2005 where he was playing. I went to the game with my longtime Red Sox fan Grandfather and Moss was playing for the home town Portland Sea Dogs. Prior to the game I had gotten Moss' autograph on a couple of cards and told my grandfather to watch out for him and another player named Jeremy West (Who never made it above AA) as they were suppose to be short. Good ole Brandon came up to bat 5 times and struck out swinging in every single one of them; my Grandfather mocked me for saying how great this guy was suppose to be and call him if this guy ever actually makes the major leagues and hits a Home Run. Well turns out Brandon hit a bunch of Homers last year so I got to call my Grandfather a lot!

[PhilliesPhan28]

Anyways I'm a fan of the Phillies, and all real Phillies fans spell any word beginning with an f with a ph; and then my birthday is May 28th; a rather simple name
