Lyle Overbay BobbleHead Mistake! You should buy him / contribute to a brand new fund I call the "buy me a new computer fund -- it's at 0 dollars." Email: info@freefantasymagazine.com

I apologize to anyone expecting fantasy write-ups, life’s been hectic.  The Jays are back in town, and gosh darn do I love those Athletics.

First off, the Lyle Overbay Bobblehead is the powder-blue FLASHBACK FRIDAY variety.  I don’t know how much value these things but they put the wrong uniform number on him.  On the bobble-head he’s number 17, but he actually wears number 35.

Overbay wore 35 back in the day, way back in the day, 2006 back in the day.  Then Frank Thomas showed up, and kindly asked for 35 and Overbay obliged.  Overbay wore 17 during 2007 and 2008 while Frank The Tank was around.  Brad Wilkerson scooped it up after Thomas left, but I’m sure Overbay just didn’t feel like switching mid-season.

Anyways, 2009 Bobblehead of Lyle Overbay wearing his 2008 number.  Who knows if these things are worth anything but only 10,000 were given away (and I scored two, cause i’m a selfish prick)

In other news, I started sketching out a picture in charcoal a week or so ago, and just never got around to painting it.   I’m lazy and have an attention span of about a week  before I get completely bored.  Anyways, it was Brett Anderson, Travor Cahill and Josh Outman — The three amazing talents from Oakland.

I’ve never managed to get multiple athletes sign one sketch, it’s the biggest pain in the ass ever.  Anyways, here’s a quick-see of Brett Anderson, Trevor Cahill and Josh Outman’s autograph.

Anderson, Cahill, Outman, autographs.

I had a lot of fun sketch this out when I thought I was just going to paint over it, then gave up and colored in the athletics logo and called it a day.
