julieMy cousin Julie has two boys, Jonah and Caleb, who are twins' fans. After ascertaing that they didn't havre one, I sent them a 84 Fleer Update Puckett for Christmas. I asked Julie if they like it, and she said, dryly: "It was the only thing the talked about Christmas day..." Hee.
My son had about 1 friend I liked when he was growing up: studious, good sense of humor, didn't drink, smoke or use drugs, and did a lot of things with his family. Jewish. I gave him a rookie Koufax for either his birthday or his Bar Mitzvah. I had two, and this was the better one (just replaced the other one a month ago!). ten years later, he was in town and called to talk to Chris. "I still have the Koufax you gave me," he said. 'YOU DO? It was a little off-center, as I remember." "Yes, some uncle gave me a perfect one. I sold it. I kept yours for sentimental reasons."
I LOVE to give baseball cards away!
Noobody ever gave me one, unless i specifically asked for it for a special occasion...
