Congrats Tim! I hope I'm as fortunate to reach that milestone one day.

Are you serious about only getting 3-4 more games in???

Congrats Tee,

4000 is a great accomplishment! (whereas 3999 is not. haha)

WOW!

Tim, until today, I thought that hundreds of games was a lot.

You can't retire! What will you do with all that gear? You need to wear out all the gear and uniforms, then you can retire, when there's nothing to hang up.

Good question: ebay for your gear?

Nice job, Tim!

Way to show 'em how it's done in these parts.

Tim,
Congratulations on the milestone game of #4000.......thats an outstanding achievement in any arena....

Heres to many more years behind the dish..........and more behind the pen....I for one miss the "Strikes and Outs" column that I have followed for so many years.....

My present game journal only goes back to 1999, but it was your suggestion that made me start logging them in.......Havent missed a game entry and it has been a valuable resource for me ever since....

Congratulations!!

Stan

I wish I had done that when I started 15 years ago. That would've been very, very interesting to look back on.
I know it's not too late to start, but some things will never happen again (ie... my first college game, first no hitter, etc.).
