James WThe reason I'm trying to collect this player is as follows.
I've live in central Indiana and have always wondered if someone from my home town has ever played pro-basbeball. Well, a few days back I was visiting www.baseball-reference.com and noticed they have birth places listed. To my surprise, there was one person who played and was from my home town. However, he was never on any cards. So, Parke Swartzel was the closest person born to my home town. Also, my father was raised in the same town that Parke was born.
That's why I'm trying to collect Parke.
Along with Parke, I'm also starting a T206 collection.
