(Thanks to Exhibitman -- I still get chills when I watch Hank Aaron's 715th homer and listen to the calls around that. And that '74 card is on my wish list.)
I find all of these responses heartening and enlightening. Baseball's connection to American history. The hobby's connection to baseball. And, in many cases, how both baseball and the hobby help us connect with our fathers, and our fathers to their fathers.
So I took the liberty to share your responses to some friends and family members (mostly decades younger than me), who are into collecting Pokemon cards. The few who had the attention span to read your responses were blown away...
