Eric Davis bobblehead

The Reds HOF July bobblehead for their 2014 series was release, Eric Davis. Its a pretty cool bobblehead a newer style stance I've only seen once before, but first in my collection.
They ran low on supply quickly and I was unable to go myself, my step dad picked this up for me.

THANKS GREG!

Dollar General race team


Dollar General sent me 3 Matt Kenseth hero cards. They also included 2 Kyle Busch cards from their truck racing team, Kyle Busch is a huge jerk so below is how I disposed of that garbage.

My brother and I really dislike Kyle Busch for his attitude and tactics. He is a huge jerk on the track, although I've heard he's great with fans. In this mail package 2 Busch cards came so I showed my disapproval and burned them. I vined it and here are some pictures. Just to show what they looked like a little.

Billy Hamilton bobblehead


July 12 was Billy Hamilton bobblehead night. The Reds ended up losing 6-5 to the Pirates.
Billy Hamilton is having an awesome rookie season and here is his first (major league) bobblehead, its a pretty neat style I've never seen before and unique for my collection. The back side of the box describes some of his better stats and accomplishments. Not only is he having a great rookie season, but as a late call up for the end of last season (2013) he provided a much needed spark on the base paths.
I was unable to attend this game so my step dad picked this up for me,
 
THANKS GREG!

Quaker State 400 Kentucky Speedway

On June 28 I went to my first NASCAR race, it was awesome. We arrived at the lot around 11 and set up camp. We immediately went to the driver's haulers where I bought this Dale Jr. diet dew pit hat.
