An intersection of two of my passions: baseball cards and the Baltimore Orioles. Updated daily? Let's hope.

It might be childhood memories, an anecdote from the player's career, or musings on the aesthetics of the card. (Larry Sheets' mustache is fair game.) Ideally, this blog will be a companion piece to my Orioles Uniform Number site, NumerOlogy.
