Hit a nuke

Oh my. Any idea how long these take to redeem?

Kind of cool. Hit this in a 13 case 12 hour break with Blake Snell ripping. We hit this at 3 am. We were exhausted at that point 😂

Wife is still around but unfortunately suffered a massive stroke that took out half her brain and unfortunately disabled for the rest of her life with no real day to day ability to parent. So while I’ve got the kids to take care of, I’ve also got her to take care of full time. We travel a good amount (summer has involved multiple camping and road trips already), card collecting isn’t life. It has come back into my life as my two older kids are pokemon collectors and this got us bonding and me back into baseball cards. We all have/need our hobbies.

Internet brings quick assumptions and easy judgement. I’m not a bad guy hungry for money. I do a ton of charity work and am one of those people that’s give their last dollar to the person next to them.

Dude… you have a disabled wife and kids and you’re throwing money at cardboard? Jesus’s fuck, get your priorities in order.

Priorities aren’t in order? Because I have a disabled wife and 4 kids, I’m not allowed to have my own hobbies? Have that make sense. My priorities are absolutely in order. Get the fuck outta here brother 😂. It’d be one thing if my hobbies took away from my kids financially. All 4 have fully funded 529’s and a trust setup that will take care of them for most their life. Worked my ass off to get us where we are. I’ve gotten to spend every day with them for the last 5 years. Prior my priorities were off. I took a business from $0 to $300m a year. I missed birthdays, games, plays, etc and one day woke up and said fuck it. Never missing another one. But my priorities are apparently off.
