"I remember as a child I use to ride my bike to the local liquor stores to buy packs of baseball cards which seemed like everyday. I would harass my mother for just a few bucks so by a small chance I would get one legit card within the ten packs I purchased.
I don't have a favorite card of myself, but I do remember my most favorite card which I believe was a Darryl Strawberry 1984 Fleer card. He was by far my favorite player and I used to always watch him playing on television playing in right in the old Shea Stadium. I would always tell myself,"One day I will be in that exact same spot!" In 2004, my rookie year, I found myself playing right field in Shea Stadium...it was a thrill!"
Thanks!
Very cool!
