Why I haven't been on here

Disclaimer: This post only really matters if you recognize my username, and played MLB The Show 20. You can still read it, but you will be confused.

Hey guys! As most of you know (At least the people that played 20) I was VERY active on the forums, and on the game. Just so you all know, I am indeed alive and doing well (Unlike the Cubs, YIKES). I have gotten a few jobs this summer, so I don't really have much time to play MLB The Show.
I also went on a three-week road trip out west to the National Parks, so I couldn't play there either. (Duh) I broke my wrist when I fell in our rental house, so that was fun. LOL

I am on Reddit some (Also jz2016cubs). I was surprised that it let me in, seeing that I haven't gotten MLBTHESHOW 21, but I wanted to let you guys know that I am indeed alive.
I am still doing my podcast (Around the Diamond with Jake and Thomas. @atdwithjakeandthomas on Instagram and @atdmlb on Twitter), and we are having a former MLB player on within the next few months. (Thomas, I know you are on here. DONT spoil it)

I now have a job at DQ, and I am also broadcasting baseball and softball games for my high school, as well as the local radio station.
I am still (I think I was when I was last on here, IDK though) a HUUUUGE fan of Nico Hoerner, as he is the one thing keeping the Cubs alive, IMO.

Over the pandemic, I have gotten back into baseball cards! I PC Nico Hoerner, and have been working on my collection of him. (Not the best, but decent, I guess)

I am going to my first baseball game in a week or so in St Louis (Boring city) to see the Cubs play the Cards, so I can't wait for that! First in-person game in over a year and a half! Then I am going to a game at Wrigley a week after that for the Cubs and Diamondbacks.
I am working on my stack of baseball cards where I have one card for each player on the Cubs that I would want to be signed, JUST IN CASE I can get any autographs.
I am also cataloging all of my baseball cards to then put online in case anyone is interested in buying any, just to make a little bit of extra money.
I am currently 1,367 cards in, and I would say I have about 1K left.

As some of you might know, I am also a HUGE Disney fan. I was able to go in May for the first time since December of 2019, and I am going in October for the 50th Anniversary as well! Then I have two cruises booked, lol.

I am currently making Wrigley Field in Minecraft with my spare time, and that is taking FOREVER. And making the Cubs good again in OOTP baseball 22.

I am also on Topps Bunt, the same username. If I am on something, my username is normally jz2016cubs.
I currently have every single Nico Hoerner card on there except for 5. I am known as the "Nico Hoerner guy," so I guess that is good?

If you guys have any questions, or anything like that, lmk! I will try and remember to pop on and check. Or DM me on Reddit and I SHOULD see it within a day or so.

Sorry for the long post, and I almost guarantee that I made a bunch of typos. lol
Thanks!

Yeah, honestly I totally forgot about the forum until like an hour ago. LOL

Good to hear from you. The forum hunger games and your off-season discussion really kept this place going up until the release of 21

Ouch. Is that worse than getting stabbed with a stick? Hmmm

Good to hear from you again. Forums have been boring without you!
