Greatness Among Us!

These are the kinds of posts I love here on Net54. Lot's of opinions, with no real way to confirm who is "right". Just good baseball discussion.

Ruth and Ohtani also are a great example why it's fun to collect both Vintage and Modern baseball cards.

My Ruth cards are some of my FAVORITE CARDS EVER. Because baseball cards of Babe Ruth will always be cool.

However, it's also fun to chase cards of players you can literally see in person, real time. And if one of the players you collect plays at a HOF level, it's satisfying that the "value" of his cards may go up (both intrinsic enjoyment and actual dollar value if you choose to sell).

As for Ohtani, I only have a couple of his cards, but I'm lucky enough to live in KC where he comes to play every year.

I went to a Royals vs Angels game earlier this year and was super entertained to watch Greinke pitch. Greinke was throwing a good game....until Ohtani and Trout hit back to back homers off him.

I was literally watching the Angel's future HOF players beat my Royal future HOF player. Following and collecting the modern game gives us moments like that which you can't get if you only care about vintage baseball players and cards.
