re: Bo, Barkley, and The Big Hurt

Bo and Barkley were my time at AU. Frank was just after I graduated. I am very attached to all three.

I collect baseball cards, but I dont collect sets. I collect players. I started collecting FT cards 20 years ago. I have now well over 500 Frank Thomas cards in a special album that I got him to autograph when he and Bo and Tim Hudson got honored during the commemoration of the outfield wall in Auburn.

I wont ever sell it, but I knew when I started seriously collecting his stuff, that he would be HOF.

What pisses me off is that in the 90 draft, the braves had the No2 selection. They picked Tyler Houston. A catcher, who they eventually traded to the cubs. No3 was Frank Thomas. From Columbus GA. To think he coulda been a brave at the same time as Glavine and Smoltz and Avery etc, etc. Jesus.
