Who's On First? Some Say It Was Jesus Himself

I was checking out this vintage card link and was surprised to find a link for the Virgin Mary -- I didn't think she had a vintage card.

Thankfully the seller has given us a "2004 Presidential Election Unknown Fact" link in support of his view that Al Gore was a "baby killer".

I, for one, am for separation of church and baseball cards. I really don't need to read such hate politics when I'm searching for cardboard messiahs.

collect prayer cards (along with baseball cards) some of them are quite colorful. I have several Mary cards and a very nice Jesus with purple background, and also a Last Supper which to me is like a baseball team picture.

Lunkheads who insist on proselytizing like the one quoted can take their religious beliefs and cram them. I am so sick of self-righteous bible thumpers trying to push their religious views on everyone else. Memo to the zealots: a majority of the world's population do not ascribe to your religious beliefs. Keep them to yourselvesl; we don't care to hear them.

There's no religion in baseball...

but I keep remembering the board member who said he avoids all ebay auctions where the seller, at the end of his desription, says "God bless!' he thinks they're ALL fake-sellers...

Obviously, you're limiting your audience by proselytizing for any religion in a card ad

Hi Adam& Jeff
This seller has the same right to speak freely about his interest as you do. We have the right to "free" speech in this country, NOT the right to Not be offended. To each his own Brian

I think prayer cards and baseball cards are natural complements to each other. Let's not be so quick to disregard our common spiritual heritage.

Don't some players cross themselves before they bat? And (O/T) what's all this kneeling in the endzone?

As an athiest, I have GREATLY enjoyed "The Song of Bernadette," "Mystic River," "The Third Miracle," "The End of the Affair," and "Blackrobe." And "Barbarian Invasions."
What a neat nun.

to be religious to enjoy religious things. I don't mean there is religion BUILT INTO baseball, but there are plenty of devout players.

The movies are from both sides of the isle. 3 pro, 3 anti.

(I think it was yesterday someone unearthed an old thread he wanted to add something to, and there was a comment by me in it that was SO RIDICULOUS, that I thought someone had stolen my log-in and e-mail address...)
