Our future...from the mind of a seven year old...

[Cy2009]

To get a younger person involved in baseball history, then, possibly collecting vintage cards, you have to compare older players with players that he admires from the modern era. If you take a child to a game and he loves watching Pujols, agree with him on how great Pujols is, then compare him to Ruth, to Williams. When the player talks about Matt Kemp, compare him to Cobb or Speaker. By doing this, you put something tangible in his mind rather than just a ghost that used to play baseball. Then buy the child a few cards of each type, modern and vintage and allow his interest to grow. He may like the newer cards better. He may like th evintage cards better. But with some easy nudging, you may get the child to enjoy learning about older players and the history of baseball.
