Who are some of the cardboard gods that come to your mind as you recollect your childhood. For me, growing up in Minnesota it was my childhood idol Tony Oliva. He played baseball with an unbridled passion and an all out hustle. His knees cut his career short but he continues to be an ambassador for baseball and the Minnesota Twins.
I remember 1965, not the World Series between the Dodgers and the Twins but my first game it was a rainout and there was tornado warnings. We had to line up in the interior of the stadium until we received an all clear. Needless to say the game was a washout, weather 1 Twins 0.
As you peruse your cards let the memories flood back and escape to a bygone era. Relive your past and read this book and relive Josh Wilker's past and laugh at the styles of the 70's and 80's. Let the cardboard gods take you on that journey you will not want to end.
