I loved those Topps Team USA cards. The Mark McGwire one was my holy Grail as a kid, which I've written about. And I also wrote about Odibbe McDowell's performance in my very first MLB game and that he has one of the greatest names in baseball history. So you really hit the sweet spot for me on that one.

Also, I thought Pomp and Circumstance was a wrestling song. Surely you're not going to argue with the Macho Man Randy Savage about this? Ohhhh yeah! Dig it!

No way! And if it weren't for that darn Johnny Bench blocking his way, maybe we'd have seen Randy Poffo, Reds All-Star.

Haha. What might have been? But only if he played catcher in the full Macho Man persona. No disrespect to Randy Poffo, but I feel like the world needed the Macho Man. So maybe it worked out best for everyone.
