"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

I love baseball cards, but I hate the commercialization of them. It sucks the joy out of collecting and replaces it with avarice. It makes me sad (not that I'm opposed to avarice in principle, but we already have speculation in securities, real estate, commodities, etc., to cover the investment world -- it's just a terrible shame that another simple pleasure of childhood has been commandeered by adult financiers).
