Buenos Aires - Childhood BFFs Toby Santos and Paul Rivas were reunited in cyberspace today when Rivas read the following email sent by Santos:

“Paul: The following story encapsulates how I feel about my baseball card collecting past in only a way I think you would understand. Enjoy.”

Rivas had attempted to contact Santos a few months back to tell him to read One Sorry Blog, but the email he had sent was returned with a message that Santos’ mailbox was full. Rivas had Santos’ myspace address written down on the back of the latter’s business card, but stuck by his refusal to have any dealings with myspace, despite constant badgering from his cousin Bonnie Madden and his friend Tom Burgher III that it would be much easier to keep in touch with family and friends if he would just jump on ‘The Space’.

“Toby and I traded baseball cards with each other every day until we were 14 years old,” said Rivas. “We have a shared childhood, and our connection is much bigger than even myspace. I knew we’d get in contact with each other again.”

However, Rivas did admit that he was tempted to get in touch with Santos via his girlfriend Clare Nisbet’s myspace page.

As for the article Santos sent Rivas, Rivas said that the fact that someone else remembered error cards made him feel that all the time he and Santos put in at card shows was well spent. Rivas vividly recalled getting the Billy Ripken ‘Fuck Face’ card in a pack of 1989 Fleer and running to the phone to call Santos.
