Turns out PMing a bunch of people is annoying so I'll just post the info here...

Venmo: rycummins
PayPal: ryan at rycummins dot com

It was only $50 for both cutouts, so don't feel obligated to contribute, but anything extra I'll donate to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in smitty's name. Or we can submit more smitty photos lol!


Now I see. I will send something along today.

Received a few more generous donations and I rounded up a bit after a lucky weekend on FanDuel :)

So in total we donated another $500 to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research in memory of smitty!

I let smitty's family know last night and they asked me to post this on their behalf:

To those of you who donated for the Carl Smith Cutout, we want to thank you for your kind and truly thoughtful gesture. We know that your Smitty is up in Heaven smiling down on each and every one of you.....from [CalvinBall] who originated the idea to [mickbayne] who communicated with us to each and every person who pledged donations or even just prayers for Carl....our family will always be thankful to his Back She Goes family. Every one of you held a special place in Carl's heart until his very last day on this earth....you were often the topic of his conversation even until the end when he couldn't contribute as he had proudly done those past many years. Thanks again for your generosity and let's hope we get some Phillies baseball again soon to see the fruits of your labor on TV. Stay safe and may God bless you.

The Family of Carl Smith

Did anybody see Smitty yet? Do we know which game and where he will be displayed?

The High Hopes podcast is soliciting stories from people that purchased a flat. Somebody should email them.

During tonight's broadcast, T-Mac mentioned phillies.com will have a 360 degree photo of the ballpark where you can zoom in and tag your cutout. He said it should be up in the next few days.

He also said whoever submitted the order should be receiving an email with confirmation of where the cutout is

I ended up posting my venmo/paypal info a few posts later (it was kind of a pain to put together a large PM). But the cutouts are already paid for plus we made another nice donation to Fred Hutchinson cancer research!
