- Do you have any stories about cards of yourself or of other players?
I do not have any real stories about other players cards. I do know
that it was completely random when the card companies would arrive to
take pictures. They would arrive early and would request a picture
before warm up as they wanted us in our uniforms. Some card pictures
were taken in practice uniforms. It was really random. But that was in
the 80's. So who knows if it is now more organized or not.
I
have a bag of minor league cards of guys that I played with. Most of
the sets have never been opened. Ken Caminiti and Craig Biggio's
Triple A cards are probably my favorite. I enjoyed playing with both of
those guys.
- Do you collect baseball cards?
Actually
I do not collect cards. My collections are very small. I have a
signed page in a large picture book of Nolan Ryan. The only reason I
was able to get that autograph because my locker was next to his in one
of my three Major League camps.
Yogi
Berra was one of the coaches on that team and I had a ball autographed
for my father-in-law. Yes, I could have collected so much more stuff,
but I have never been a collector of anything.Thanks!
Pretty cool!
