Anyone else old enough to remember the "yellow and blue make green!" Ziplock commercials? No? Just me? Okay.
The Red Sox always have a strong fan pack entry that's anchored by a little baggie of dirt from Fenway Park. Unfortunately for me, that baggie opened up in transit. I did manage to transfer the dirt out of the envelope into a ziplock bag. Great design on the pocket schedule featuring the Commissioner's Trophy. And the handwritten note from Fenway Ambassador Phil Derick is a nice touch, particularly on the Sox' championship stationary that they've had to update a little more often in the last decade than they had in the previous 80-some years.
Following your blog made me want to get my own Red Sox fan pack, and it arrived yesterday! I must have caught them on a good day, because I got everything you did plus a picture of Dustin Pedroia. Now my daughter wants me to request an Orioles one for her! Thanks for these fun posts!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. The Cubs send put a great fanpack, but only respond to postcards. Hopefully the O's send your kid a nice one.
