I've Been Carded
I've got two new favorite baseball players - Curtis Thigpen of the Blue Jays and JP Howell of the Royals. Never heard of them? Not too surprising, unless you are a draft maven or watch a lot of college baseball you probably don't know these names. The two players were drafted out of the Texas program this past summer, Howell as the first "sandwich" pick, and Thigpen in the second round.
Why am I hoping that these two players go on to great things? Because Fleer just put out its "2004 Hot Prospects" series, and the baseball cards for the pair were shot by yours truly. When you are a kid one of your fantasies is that you will someday be on a baseball card. Taking the photo for the card is a pretty close second.
The Howell card hasn't come out yet, but Thigpen has already been spotted on eBay.
