My mother (probably all mothers) used to say, "If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?". Maybe. I've seen a few bloggers make an A-Z list of favorite players. So I figured that I'd jump, too. I'm more than a bit of a homer so look for an overabundance of Cubs and White Sox players.
For the most part, I'm including cards I had previously created for this blog. I had to make one card specifically for this post (it's the letter "L") and there is one real card which might be my favorite card in my collection.
Right off the bat, I'm torn. Two of my all time favorite players have last names starting with A. So I'm cheating already.

First ten cards and only 5 were Chicago teams, if you don't count Grace. Not bad. (For me).
