This one’s for you, Miss Adams. (And hopefully Rachael will enjoy as well.) A true hero!
Oh, and when I said Iron Horse (or whatever) on the voice mail, I meant the “Iron Man”. (Iron Horse would be the native american name for trains, if I recall correctly.)
I own a bunch of Cal Ripken, Jr. baseball cards. I have them at home in Colorado in a box in my parents basement. I followed baseball hardcore as a kid and incredibly enjoyed such players as Rickey Henderson, Frank Thomas, Ken Griffey, Jr., Cal Ripken, Jr., Ryan Sandberg, and Nolan Ryan. A few of these players are still around. Unfortunately, unlike those players my interest in baseball has not remained as strong. Oh well!
