Two seams or four seams is question that is decided by the pitch that you're making. A two seamer is the classic curve ball. A four seam is a screw ball.

PS: Baseball spring training has started so all is right in the universe. My prediction is that NY Yankees win the World Series in 5-6 games against any National League team.

PPS: Only 7+ weeks to the Reading SVX Meet. Let's get those cars ready.

If I'm not mistaken, John Hoffman had a two seam steering wheel. He was the one who pointed it out to me. Of course, he may have been pointing it out to me on someone else's car -- can't remember. It was in the parking lot at the 10th Anniversary meet, so, it's possible that I could have been seeing/hearing things as a result of heat stroke.

Yes, that was me. I never noticed that my pearlie had only the two lower seams until Lafayette. My VIN was 2522 with a manufacture date of 6/91

Geez,

I threw down the gauntlet to all those National League fans (Mets, Braves, Phillies ?)fans here and nobody bit. You people are all getting like Randy. You're still rootin' for college (semi-pro) basketball. That won't get interesting until the sweet 16.

Ron's still asleep dreaming of the Orioles beating the Yanks and then going on to sweep the Mets in the Series.
I hate to burst your Box-O-Bubbles, Ron, but it ain't gonna happen.

Don's still wondering why people insist on having baseball fields on flat ground rather than mountainous terrain.

All the Canadian SVXers are wondering why they can't stay awake pass the 4th inning.

There was an SVXer on the Yahoo SVX Club site who was a Seattle Mariner fan. We used to have spirited postings. I wish he was over here.

Finally, we come to Lwin. What can you say to a Cub's fan, but "Good Luck Next Year."


If I don't get flamed for this one, I may as well pack my bags and go back to Yahoo.


(Larry sneaks down to his basement and hides behind the fort he made from the 6 crates containing the titanium coated windshields he got as spares)

John,

Mine has two seams also. My VIN is 3107, but being JDM spec, my wheel has the stereo controls and no airbag.

Not sure of the build date, but think it was 6/91. My reg date is 12/91.

Seems to be a pattern here with the VINs.

Only the early ORIGINAL cars have 2 seams.
