John Thorn talks baseball cards
There is a wonderful piece today on John Thorn's blog Our Game covering a very brief history of baseball cards.
As most of you know Thorn is the Official Historian of Major League Baseball. His blog today in entitled "Rhapsody in Cardboard" and it gives a brief history of cards and more importantly why many of us have our attachment to these little slabs of cardboard.
In no way does he intend this to be an in-depth history of cards but more how it has grown with the history of the game. If you enjoy baseball history I suggest you visit his site it is outstanding every day.
