Let's see your Little League photos

[Chris-Counts]

Most of us here collected baseball cards with great enthusiasm when we were kids — and played some version of youth baseball at the same time when we were opening our first wax or cello packs. I recently came across this photo of myself at 13 playing for the "Reds." It was taken in 1974, and it's curious to me that the logo on the cap was last used by the Reds in 1953, and the logo on the jersey is patterned after the one on the 1956 Reds road jersey. I recall going to sporting goods stores back then, and they carried tons of old patches like these — there were drawers filled with them. As a result, many of the local youth teams used outdated patches. I also recall going to my first card show that year in Anaheim, CA.
