:goodposting: Same as me. Growing up I collected all of Sandberg's baseball cards and Starting Lineup figures, got his autograph on 3 different occasions. My wife keeps asking me what I am going to do with the box of dolls in the basement. I have to correct her that they are sports figures, not dolls.Also can add in the 1989 Flyin Illini. I remember watching the games with my dad and telling him I was going to go to U of I when I grew up, 14 years later I have season tickets and I am sitting in the front row at Assembly hall for my last 2 years down there.
