Excellent Story! Took me a few sittings to read the story completly, but was well worth it. As I was reading the story, I felt myself being taken back to a different time and place, to a period when baseball was not the corporate business that it is today, but rather when it was still a game!
The story didn't have a Cinderella ending, but a "real" flavor to it. I wonder how many former Major Leaguers can relate to this story? Probably quite a few. On the other hand, how many of us fans have a baseball story to tell to our children or grandchildren? Maybe it was our first game we ever went to or being at a ballpark and getting an autograph from a ballplayer. I suppose that's part of the fun of collecting cards too, collecting little pieces of cardboard remind us all of players and moments from our past as well as our National Pastime!
