Beej is late to the party, but he's ready to explore the wonders of the world.


If anyone is super jealous of Monsieur Robidoux, I have another.


And another.

    1. That's fantastic - I saw that he was from MA. When I was just starting out as a kid, Robidoux cards were unavoidable - I would pull them in packs, re-packs, grab bags, trades... Do you know, is it pronounced "Robidoo" or "Robidough." I assume now that it is like the french "Doux", but I used to pronounce it dough to make the name rhyme
      Bill-y Jo / Ro-bid-ough

  3. Billy Jo would like to remind everyone that there is no fun in baseball.

    1. He might look a little miffed because we missed his birthday (January 13th, assuming Donruss is correct)
