My 8 yo self wrote a biography on Tris Speaker when my grandma (who lived in the basement) said we were related through my grandpa I never met.
So today, my 8 yo self would walk into my office with jaw wide open. He'd think it's awesome I have a Speaker auto, a Turkey Red, Exhibit, and triple fold. He'd also think my GU collection was awesome, even if it's in its infancy. The Barry Larkin bat would be really cool. The Cobb, Gehrig, Ruth would be mind blowing - unbelievable even! 8yo me would think - "That's the kind of collection I want when I get older!"
But my 8yo self would also wonder why I stopped collecting KGJ, and would question why I'm not collecting him. That 1995 season cemented my love for baseball. I'm not sure I could explain that one.
