BMH----how can we GUU help you? thank you

[jonincleve]

brian, i was just looking over the board and saw a bunch of BMH can you help me threads. in the back of my mind i was thinking here is an owner? of a major company finding out information for a game used collecting website. you rarely see that from a company now a days.

first off i personally would like to say THANK YOU FOR THE TIME AND EFFORT. you helping out this group of collector has not gone unnoticed by this collector. your knowledge and insight is very valuable and entertaining. i liked your spring training photos.

my second thing, is there any thing we can do for you? make a donation to you favorite charity, eat a burger at hooters in your honor? etc... kinda like the 'free car wash' fundraisers, technically it is free but please make a donation. you could set up a paypal account, we ask for information and then can make a donation into the paypal account with the proceeds going to charity. win-win, game used collectors get information and louisville slugger can make a donation to charity. soem possible charities could be the arod steriod rehab facility, the tribe and cubs world series victory parade fund, etc.... or in all seriousness your local rbi program or donate funds to st jude's etc.... whatever your choosing.

oh and by the way do you have a list of every model bat all the cleveland indians have used in the past? i am going for a master collection

just some ideas

brian thank you for the effort

I second that, great idea!

No joke! There are times when I see all the threads and I feel bad for Brian. I think sometimes people can abuse it, especially with 5 follow up questions. Then asking about a bat every week.

I've wanted to ask Brian a couple of questions awhile back, but I saw all the "Brian Help me threads" I didn't want to push it or look dumb with my questions. I have to say it is amazing that Brian comes on here and helps a collector out when he does not have to.

I agree with all the posts in this thread.

The above quote from Nate is why I have only asked Brian about a certain bat twice.

We are truly lucky Brian is on this forum. No one else in the world could answer the questions that he does.

Thank you very much Brian!!!!

The GUU MVP by far!

Brian, I do have an excellent idea for a book.

Thanks for all you contribute Brian, even when I'm not the one asking the question, I still enjoy reading your answers. Like was said earlier, we really appreciate it because you certainly don't have to be doing it. Ricardo

Personally, I think this is a fantastic idea and I would personally make a donation as well. While I believe Brian participates on this forum simply to help collectors, the amount of time and effort he spends answering questions deserves something in return. As per John's post, I am sure there is some cause or effort that Louisville Slugger contributes to that those of us at GUU can make a donation to on Brian's behalf.

Brian, if you could let us know what cause we can help with, GUU will coordinate a member-wide effort for those wanting to contribute and make sure this comes into fruition.

Thanks again for all you do and we hope you will accept our gesture as a small token of appreciation for all you do to help everyone on this site.

I suggested in the past, maybe a "Ask BMH" forum. Whenever Brian has time, he could respond to a group of questions without it clogging up the other forums and having the questions come from all directions.

I must have stared at the screen for thirty minutes before I could figure out what to type. I am honored that you all are willing to do this but a simple "thanks" is all I need. I don't really donate to charities except the VA and a local children's home. I'll give it some thought though, my wife does work for Hospice of Louisville (under a different name now) and I know they accept donations. I'll get back on that one.

As for the Indian's records...I don't think I have that much time, that would be a very large list
