Soto prefers big money more than what team he plays for. Or else he would have taken the 400 million dollar contract from the Nationals. He wants more than that. He wants Otani money, maybe more. I’m happy to play for whatever team for 1% of that $400M. |

To reiterate for those of you who have missed the point of TCA membership. In a way it is INDEED a club! If one bothered to read the history and reasons for being a member of the TCA, it MIGHT dawn on you that the TCA isn't truly an exclusive club at all. In the past few years, becoming a member has been simplified. We don't have secret words or hand gestures to mystify the public. We do have guidelines; code of ethics (there are unscrupulous members - I've encountered a few); and generally there is a celebratory atmosphere and some tomfoolery by myself and others such as clubs that have invited me to hang out. With a bit of "CRITICAL" thinking, you'll see the membership fee and attendance fee helps pay for renting the York halls. If one bothered to read how TCA started, and its' mission, it was NEVER wholly born to "buy things"! Its the "bought or traded things" that stay in my car trunk until Mrs. Red Jimmy is fast asleep. Then the "checking the faucet drip" somehow begets a trip to my car! Clubs are great. I appreciate the purpose of them as people that join together to enjoy a like interest. I am a member of two car clubs and both welcome the public with no restrictions and full access to their events. Whether TCA membership requirements for a full York admission that ends up being $65 will be a detriment or not remains to be seen. The numbers will eventually tell the story. For myself the Allentown event has everything many hobbyists need for ten bucks, and attendance has actually edged up. BTW, if the TCA mission was never to "buy things" then why is it connected to a train meet where people buy buy and sell things?

Any organization/club whether it be hobbyist, industry, fraternal, maternal, etc will thrive if they provide their members with value that the members cannot get elsewhere. To the extent that TCA can achieve that exclusive value they will thrive. If not then TCA will fail. It really is as simple as that.

All packed and ready to go!!
Soon be heading down to a hotel near the airport. I don't want to chance getting caught in traffic at morning rush hour with the 45 minute drive for our 6am flight tomorrow morning! Also, massive construction to the terminals at San Diego's airport will surely gum up travel and parking. It was so much easier when I lived a little over an hour drive from York.
I'm excited to see friends and all the trains and eat comfort food all week!!

A good time once again. I looked for you, Eddie, but missed you. Blew all of my cash in the first three hours, but then most of it was in parts and paint. Still, lots of deals to be had. Hats off to the Eastern Division.
