"I actually do have a favorite baseball card story. In 1995 while playing for the Ft. Wayne Wizards, one of the "Diamond Girls" who I had become friends with told me that she was making herself a sandwich earlier that day for lunch and found a baseball card of me in it. I thought she was just kidding but she brought the card to show me the next day and sure enough she was not playing. I had forgotten about signing a release earlier in the year from the Holsum bread company giving permission for them to create a card and put them in loaves of bread as a promotion, well I was selected as the representative for the Wizards but was unaware. So I went to the store and bought $100 dollars worth of bread to get cards for myself, friends and family but soon found I had wasted the money as 2 weeks later I received a box of 100 of my cards from Holsum, but I was not lacking for sandwiches or toast for a while so I guess it wasn't a waste of money after all."
