Alex will always have a special place in my heart (Titus was my 1st T206 and I will always have a soft spot for that card as well).
I got my first card of him in 2002, so give yourself 24 years and you can do it!

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
