The Mariners did it again. Ichiro is a baseball superstar and should be treated as such by Major League Baseball. He can bring more attention to the game than any other player or team, yet they rarely offer him up to the masses.
Luckily, the Seattle Mariners marketing department recognizes what they have and have used it to enhance their product. Enjoy!!!

I just wanted to pass along a “Happy New Year” message to all of the readers at ’30-Year Old Cardboard’.
2008 was a wonderful year for me. I was able to enjoy the birth of my second son, celebrate my 5th year of marriage, reacquaint myself with a hobby that was the centerpiece of my adolescence, and create this blog with the desire to share my love for the sport of baseball and the hobby of collecting cards that celebrates it’s greatness.
I wish you all a very prosperous and exciting 2009!!!!
