I was inspired to do this post from Peter's Plentiful Postings. I have been collecting baseball cards for about 6 months and currently have over 300 cards. I have some very special cards like Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, David Ortiz, Mike Trout, and many more. Some cards are recent and others are old. For example: Mike Trout is recent, and Lou Gehrig is old.
Lou Gehrig was a player on the Yankees. One month during his playing career he found out he had a deadly disease now known as the Lou Gehrig disease. Even though he could die any second he still showed up to the games and sat in the dugout with the team. He also gave speeches every game to the audience telling them that even though he was sick he will always support his team. Sadly on Monday June 2nd, 1948 he died. At the funeral they did not say any speeches, they all knew him too well.
Do You collect anything?
Do you know any historic facts on athletes?
