"My favorite card of mine is my Asheville Tourists card from my first full season. I had just gotten braces and all the guys were trying to make me laugh so you could see my braces in the card. I have a weird grin because I was trying not to smile but all the guys were hooting and hollering.

My
favorite card of all time is probably the '90 Score card of Bo Jackson
with the bat and the football pads. I remember buying it for $7 at a
card show. Thought that was so cool and different than anything else I
was seeing at the time.
It's
funny you noticed that S on my jersey. [I had asked him about the 2005 Bowman card I pulled the other day.] I can't remember whose it was
but they had 3 or 4 of us step out of camp for the photo shoot and we
were wearing black jerseys for that day's game. They wanted the pin
stripes so we all wore the same one. I was surprised no one caught
that."
Thanks!
Looking at the 2005 Bowman Rockies checklist, the only Rockies rookie whose name ends in S is Franklin Morales, so that is probably the jersey he is wearing on that card.
Nice investigative work!
