As much as I love sports (you knew that, right?), I am not one for accumulating collectables, autographs, or memorabilia. About the only such thing that I have is a large album....
that contains and displays post cards of all members of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
I bought this album and a complete set of postcards when we visited the HOF in Cooperstown back in 1999. Each year, I purchase the postcards for the new HOF enshrinees. In three of those years, 2001, 2011, and 2016, I purchased the additional cards when we revisited Cooperstown.
Today, the cards for the Class of 2018, Vladimir Guerrero, Trevor Hoffman, Chipper Jones, Jack Morris, Jim Thome, and Alan Trammell arrived.
I will carefully place this cards in the album and return the album to its spot on my bookshelf. Someday, many, many years from now, I hope, I will be in that great Grandstand in the Sky, and some great-niece or great-nephew of mine will come across this album and probably say something like, "Well, what in the hell are we going to do with this?"
