It seemed that 2-3 times a year, they'd have an absolute doozy of an article in addition to the usual features. I still remember one that was written by a guy who called Ty Cobb on the phone when he was a kid. Cobb invited him to come to his house for a visit. Cobb served him milk and Oreos (!) and they ended up playing catch in the front yard. This had nothing to do with baseball cards, yet the publishers always recognized a great story and gave leeway. It felt like such a loose operation. I loved it.

Who says that Cobb was a mean old SOB.
