Scott SCongrats on the Mantle card; seems like a great girl!!
Back in September 2003, I was on my second date with my future wife at a Red Sox game. (She said she liked baseball on our first date, but I didn't know to what extent at this point.) When Bill Mueller came up to bat, she started cheering loudly for him.
Pam: C'mon Bill, you're my favorite player, get a hit!
Naive me: Why do you like him so much, do you think he's hot?
Pam: No, because he's hitting .328 right now with 42 doubles this year, that's why.
I'm surprised I didn't drop to a knee on the spot....
