1-if i didn't collect baseball cards, i'd collect books. the "classics". i actually have a pretty good start on this - two bookcases filled with great literature (and other books), many of which i have actually read. currently reading 'lord jim' by joseph conrad.
2-my baseball heroes include one you probably wouldn't know from my blog or comments, and that person is jackie robinson.
obviously well before my time, but still a man worthy of respect on and off the field.
