So thats that, "RUSTY ADVENTURES" is official now! haha!

So if you couldn't see the video or just feel like reading, this is the low down of what "RUSTY ADVENTURES" is!

I have a certain card in my possession, that I'm gonna send to someone with a piece of paper and they have to sign their name on the paper and make a video (preferably)(and make it as a response to the video above) or a thread on their forum about receiving the card, then they have to send it off to someone else and so on and so on! So the adventure is to see where and how far and how many people can have this one particular card in their possession!

Now why is it called "RUSTY ADVENTURES" you may ask?

This here, is the card I'm sending off to make this possible...



Here's a little bit about him...

Russell Jay "Rusty" Kuntz (born February 4, 1955, in Orange, California; last name pronounced /ˈkuːnts/ with an "oo" sound) is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) designated hitter and outfielder. An alumnus of California State University, Stanislaus, Kuntz is currently the first base coach for the Kansas City Royals.

Drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 11th round of the 1977 MLB amateur draft, he would spend two seasons in the minor leagues. Kuntz made his Major League Baseball debut with the White Sox on September 1, 1979. After being used sparingly by the Sox for four seasons, Kuntz was traded to the Minnesota Twins, then to the Detroit Tigers after the 1983 season. With Detroit in 1984, Kuntz had the best numbers of his career, a .286 average and an excellent .393 on-base percentage, although he appeared in only 84 games, mostly as a pinch-hitter and fourth outfielder.

In the fifth and deciding game of the 1984 World Series against the San Diego Padres, Kuntz pinch-hit for DH Johnny Grubb with the bases loaded and the score tied at three. Kuntz hit a pop-up to short right field that Tony Gwynn was unable to see ("I lost the ball in the sky," he later admitted). Second basemen Alan Wiggins made the catch, but was unable to prevent Kirk Gibson from racing home from third with the go-ahead run. The Tigers never trailed after that, giving Kuntz an unlikely game-winning RBI. Rusty returned the Tigers in 1985 but appeared in just five games for Detroit (last on April 24, 1985) before being sent to the minors. After batting just .222 for AAA Nashville, Kuntz retired as a player.

Kuntz has worked in various baseball positions since his retirement, and is (as of April 2008) the first base coach of the Kansas City Royals.

So I'll update this blog everytime I get a response video or PM from someone saying they received it! hehe!

God bless all and lets bring the fun back to the hobby!!!
