Dave was right, my two favorite teams, the Yankees, and the CUBS!!!

Dave, you win the first of the two packs, so take your pick!

The other will go to the one that can guess the year I was born. I am old enough to remember images of the Berlin Wall falling, but I was not yet in school. There is a player that recently started back for a team he played for years on first appeared on a card the year that I was born!

You win! I was referencing Mark McGwire, who recently went back to work for the Cardinals, first appeared on a Team USA card in 1985. One of the first full Topps sets that I acquired when I was ten on my birthday! One of the best birthday presents ever!

Man, Darren, you were born the year I graduated high school!

When you were a toddler, I was underachieving in college.
