Ballplayers play on it, they make a ton of it, and on one special day in spring training they even wear it. Green. The special day? My Birthday... otherwise known as St. Patrick's Day.

Of course, major-league baseball players have already found their pot of gold. Maybe that makes it more fun to see them dressed like leprechauns for a day. Too bad they don't don those cool hats with the buckles.

I'm sure there are plenty of collectors who enjoy these cards, but given that their photos can be traced to my birthday it just seemed like a no-brainer mini-collection for me. So here begins: My Birthday Cards.
This post serves as a nice introduction to my second wave of mini-collections, the rest of which I'll be rolling out in the coming weeks, as well as nice preview for an upcoming (Not) Junk Wax look at my box of these '96 SPs. So stay tuned.
And if you aren't wearing green right now, consider yourself virtually pinched...
