No exaggeration, but roughly 90% of my baseball knowledge in the 1980s was related to the special cards that baseball card companies inserted. It's how I knew Joel Youngblood played for two teams on the same day. It's how I learned about league leaders and all-time records. The 1987 Donruss "Highlights" and "Opening Day" special sets are still seared into my brain. Baseball cards were Google before Google existed ... and way more accurate.

Hahaha, literally laughed out loud on a few of these. Crazy to think they all retired in the same year, with their last game on that same day. Cool story, great writeup.
