Occasionally, I like the layout and photo of a card so much that I feel like my own words couldn't do it justice. Such is the case with this sublime card featuring Elrod Hendricks soaking up the sun on a bright afternoon late in his career and flashing a candid and typical smile. Just another day at the office for Mr. Oriole.

An intersection of two of my passions: baseball cards and the Baltimore Orioles. Updated daily?

The Back of My Card

- I can remember playing with baseball cards as a toddler, but I actually started collecting them when I was ten. Now I'm an adult looking for an outlet to talk about my hobby without receiving blank stares in return. You can contact me thusly.

Nice words today, Kevin. You're so right, this is the quintessential Elrod Hendricks card... smiling up at sunny skies. Somewhere Elrod is signing an autograph and thanking the kid who asked for it.
Bob - If there's an afterlife, and it doesn't have Elrod Hendricks, it's probably not all it's cracked up to be!
