who's the biggest collector nerd here game!

ok....so a lot of us baseball card collectors have been baseball players in our lives. I am currently into (softball) and have been into baseball all my life. Many of us might remember the one major, break out thing in their career. Well, mine was 1974 in Nasa Area Little League...which is Clear Lake City (where Nasa is) and just south of Houston. Our regular little league team had our whole infield make the All Star Team that year. I was fortunate to be the 2nd best batter in the league that year, right behind a guy named Pat Ray. So our All Star team made it all the way through Bi-District and went to the Texas state finals. We got to stay a whole week in the girls dormitories at Baylor University in Waco (it was summer so no girls were there, nats) ...At any rate we won our first game and if we won 3 more we would go to the National Tournament. We faced a team from LaGrange that had a pitcher who was 6'1" tall. I never forgot his name, Marvin Marburger. They beat us in that 2nd game in the tournament and went onto win the State title that year. I don't think they won the National title but were in the running. When I saw this postcard recently on ebay I had to have it. I couldn't believe I saw this after 39 yrs.....Marvin is the tall guy in the center of the back row...I think I went something like 1-3 off of him. He was good. How many collectors have a card with a background like that?
