The Joy of Opening a Pack of Baseball Cards
Josh Wilker describes the joyful process of opening a pack of baseball cards. The way he describes it isn't exactly the way I would do things, but he's exactly right that there is a certain mystical feeling in opening a new pack of baseball cards and seeing what players are inside. (Hope springs eternal.) I still have some unopened packs of baseball cards at home (including some that are old enough to have sticks of gum in them) and if I were home, I could always go to the Beverly Hills Baseball Card Shop and buy some. And Wilker's article really makes me want to go and open up some packs of baseball cards. When I am back home in the winter, I am so going to partake.
