I am a baseball fan.
I have been since I was a young boy. It started with a stack of
San Francisco Giant cards from the sixties surrounded by a rubber band.
Well that stack of
cards grew to tens of thousands and my love of the game continued to
grow.
The history and
tradition of the game is what captures me. I can look at a old
baseball card and it will bring me back in time.
This history is also
a family history. My great uncle, Joe Wilhoit played baseball.
He didn't have too much of a career in the majors but there is greatness
still in his achievements and the era he played in.
