A Return to Innocence

mouse

Back in September I discovered the Stat of the Day blog and I've enjoyed it daily ever since.  One of the writers there is Andy and for fun he just started a new blog I'm absolutely loving.  He's going through all 792 Topps baseball cards one by one, explaining why the card is awesome and sharing a cool stat about the player.  His 88 Topps Cards blog can be found at http://88topps.blogspot.com/.

I'm loving this new blog for two reasons.  Firstly, I collected Topps baseball cards in the '80s.  We had bags of 'em dating back to 1983.  I loved those cards.  Secondly, I really miss this era of baseball.  I was young and in love with the sport and my Jays and I didn't have a clue about luxury taxes or performance enhancing drugs.

In a nutshell, revisiting the 1988 Topps baseball cards is like a return to innocence.  When a blog gives you that, it's something awfully special.
