john/z28jd I went to the hall of fame when I was 7 with my dad and knew all of the old players even back then but I'm not exactly sure where I learned it from. My dad told me about Yankees players but I went right for all of the old Pirates stuff when I was at the Hall,and somewhere have pics to prove it. I know before that trip to the Hall I told my dad I would hit more homers in the majors than Ty Cobb did and I knew how many he had. For now,Cobb is safe. I also know that the first game I went to was Old Timers day in 1982,and I picked out the tickets for that specific day as my 7th birthday present to see the old players.
When I was 9 my favorite baseball card was the Ewing/Mascot Old Judge card after I saw it in a price guide. Only took me 20 years to get one!
