Childhood favorite

As funny as it might sound one of the first Cub players I really remember wasn't mark grace, Sammy Sosa, or Ryne Sandberg. Although all of them are some of my all time favorite cubs Scott Servais who was a catcher for the cubs in the 90's was the first guy I remember. I want to say I was in second grade and I came home from school on a Friday and of course the Cubs play day games at home on Fridays. I walk in and the Cubs are on. Now I wasn't really watching a lot of games then, but I would always ask my dad if they won. They also weren't really good at the time either. For some reason that day I sat down with my dad and started watching the game. It was the bottom of the 8th inning and I can't recall who the Cubs were playing but they were down by two. Scott Servais comes up to bad with two runners on, and hits a 3 run dong into the right center field bleachers. At the time I think he was batting low .200's nothing special, but that didn't matter to me. I thought he was the best player ever. As I have gotten older and followed the sport more I have realized that Scott really wasn't an all star player When I ran across the card I knew I needed to add him to my collection So here it is..

Also today I added another great Brooklyn Dodger. Is it ironic that the day after Roy Halladay throws only the second no hitter in baseball history during the play offs that I get a Brooklyn dodger back? Here it is Clyde King
