The Official 2022 San Jose Earthquakes related Blogs/Press thread

So Don did you donate some of your collection to this exhibit? Should we all go?

 

Yes, you should visit the exhibit, if only to see the range of items in the museum collection. I'm not sure which soccer items will be on display, though. I'm excited to see which ones the exhibit curator selected, though it will be a very small sampling.

I have donated to History San Jose (virtually everything in my garage man cave has a duplicate already in the museum collection, and I don't hang jerseys in my garage because I don't have room). Many others have donated to the museum, including several folks on BS, as well as David Dufty Johnny Moore, Chris Dangerfield and Cade Cowell. Gary Singh's Quakes history book includes several photos attributed to History San Jose.

Here's an article about the Soccer Legacy Collection I wrote for the Society of American Soccer History back in 2015:

Wonder what it costs to pay for that honor

 

I wonder what that guy actually does?

 

Probably takes credit for a lot of stuff.

 

Is that’s full-time job, “credit-taking”?

 

Yes, it’s called a politician.

 

Yes it’s called a kiss-ass.

 

Yes, it’s called a credit pirate.

 

The opposite is called a blame-shifter.

 

OMG i just described our last president.

Field to Table, does that mean more tacos by Benji?

 

It’s an interesting way to announce that we’re not making the playoffs

 

Field to table will divert our attention from where the TEAM is on the table…

I figure if there was pro/eel in US soccer the Quakes would probably be playing in the Sunday >35 league by now…
