“All I've got left is my baseball card,” he said. “Really, I was just a common player. My card isn't worth a nickel. And it hurts, because I know I could have been so much more.”

This hurts to read. He was Phil Fucking Lombardi and I wish i got a chance to tell him so.



Phil. Fucking. Lombardi.

I always thought his card was one of the best-looking in the set. Better if he had not been wearing just an ugly uniform.
