i've already spent considerable time here discussing my acquisition of post cereal miniature major league baseball bobblehead dolls, but i'd like to add one final piece to the story.

last year, i did aokay, acquiring just two sets of doubles: pedro martinez and jeff bagwell. i also acquired ichiro, bernie williams, and some sort of retro model (similar to the style featured on espn baseball commercials, maybe six years ago).

this year, i think i've been a more devoted consumer, buying alpha-bits and super golden crisp (fruity and cocoa pebbles have long since switched to some sort of ea sports video game) long into the summer. anyway, i've purchased seven boxes, acquiring the following: giambi, griffey, giambi, schilling, schilling, giambi, giambi. i mean, that sucks.

i'm looking for my series two ichiro and haven't gotten it. and, of course, i'm really looking for my sammy, but...

this angers me.
