I was a huge Reggie fan back in the day. I remember one of my first cards ever pulled from a pack at 9 years old was a 79 Reggie. I knew he had been an Athletic, and I of course worshipped him as a Yankee...but when I flipped that card and learned he was an Oriole it literally blew my mind. When I finally was able to trade for a 77 Reggie, I was super upset that it was obviously poorly airbrushed...I was ticked at 9 that it looked so bad, haha. Reggie being an Oriole was one of the biggest mythilogical big deals in my childhood. I couldn't see it, picture it...let alone believed it!

Seeing this thread brought me back to that 9 year old me...THANKS!
