Default Athlete loses wife, keeps baseball cards!!!

Posted By: peter chao

I've sometimes wondered whether a MLB ballplayer would enjoy their collection as much as we do. Somehow I don't think so. Look at it this way, if I tried real hard I might be able throw a baseball at 65 mph, sure I would be in awe of a Roger Clemens whose changeup is probably in the mid-80's.

I worshiped Willie Mays when I was young, but if you are a MLB player you might have played in the same stadiums Mays did. And if you are a veteran, wouldn't hanging out with MLB players become old hat?

Would collecting old baseball cards hold the same fascination?
