Default Mary Ann or Ginger?

In honor of the age old question "Mary Ann or Ginger?", I'll ask "Baseball or Baseball Cards?"

If you could only keep one, which would it be?

As for me and my family, it's Baseball.

Baseball cards. I could care less about MLB due to the financial inequities in the game. You can get rid of the game and I still have my t205s, t206s, and Goudeys.

I am 56 and still love to throw a baseball with my son (who is now very nearly a man) or go to a ball game, minor league or major league. Anyone who doesn't see Mike Trout or Clayton Kershaw play is missing something in my opinion. Times change, the pay scale changes, concepts, and strategies evolve but at the end of the day it is the same as in 1910 when a pitcher threw the ball and hitter tried to hit it.

Probably next year I'll either start coaching again or ump. No other game like it IMO.

Kershaw getting shelled has become an annual fall ritual. I can't watch Trout since he doesn't play in the postseason when the games are on TV. Maybe some day, but I wouldn't miss the game if it ended. I will always have some of my cards.

Pretty much my thinking also. I would add that stats matter more than rules to baseball. I refer to stats concerning stolen bases for a starter.

I don't want to give one of them a complex by choosing so I will take both Mary Ann and Ginger. Then we are going to a ball game and out for beverages

I'm so with you. My avatar here originally was an Expos logo.

Sad hear that about Bailey. He was my fave as a young Expos fan. I grew up about a 20 minute walk from the Olympic Stadium, so you know Jarry Park was a long bus, subway, subway, bus ride for me. But I spent a lot of my youth there.

I wouldn't take Mary Ann or Ginger. I'd take someone, anyone, who could fix a freakin' hole in a boat!!!!!!

If we abolished baseball, then there would never be another phenom, no more Yankees World Series wins, no more hope for Cubbie fans. I pick baseball.
Oh, Ginger is ultra hot, and I live in the land of Mary Ann's, the midwest. I'll take Ginger.
