His mom told him to put down those baseball cards and study! so he grabbed 20 cards and wrote the 20 vocabulary words on them. When mom came back and said, I thought I told you to put down those cards, he held them up and said, but I'm studying mom!

I believe that he was an MLBPA player rep when he was on the Reds and he may have been the Cubs player rep.

I suppose I can technically afford nicer cards, but if I had the opportunity to buy a $40 1973 Mike Schmidt or a $140 Near Mint copy of the same card, the extra enjoyment I'd get out of the condition is nowhere near worth $100 to me. I'd rather spend the extra Benjamin on other cards.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-40129446252455261192013-03-13T18:53:18.070-05:002013-03-13T18:53:18.070-05:00Hey man, even misfit toys needed a home, right?
