Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 “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.
