What player, team, or sport do you collect and why?

I noticed the interesting reason that you collect 1969 Cubs Memorabilia. Couldn't help but ask if you'll now start collecting 2011 Red Sox stuff?

That would be one big NO! Although not a big Cubs fan, I did like those late 60's early 70's teams with Santo, Kessinger, Beckert, Banks, Williams etc. Just seemed like a good solid team and 1969 was one of the first years as a kid I really followed baseball as a whole and found it fascinating that a team could fall apart like that. As for the Red Sox, I think I liked them better when they were cursed. Seem like a bunch of whiners now.
