Great card! That was my 1st Clements card too. I really wanted one of him after reading about him as a kid.

Thanks all for the comments. My son loves baseball, and at 3 1/2, he already loves the classic players. He wants to play baseball in the house everyday, and has a lineup of players he pretends to be (Clemente, Jackie Robinson, Cobb, Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, etc.). His two favorites are Clemente and Jackie, which I think is great because their legacy goes well beyond the game as well. Definitely a lot of fun - and it’s always great to see people’s reactions when they ask him who his favorite players are.

Mike - sweet ’53 Glendales - that Owen Friend presents very well!

David - awesome Gibson RC pickup!

He's awesome! I was that way at about 8. Read every baseball bio in the kids section at our library. There is so much more now to enjoy with the internet. He'll be a historian by the time he's 10!

Good to see you on here Mike! I didn't realize that was you and was getting ready to PM you saying that I know a guy collecting Heritage bucks, then I saw your name:)
