Hero vs Celebrity 

29 May

Yes. I still collect baseball cards. My most recent acquisition is this 1957 Jerry Coleman. The focus of my collecting has changed to players who have distinguished themselves by some kind of heroism. Jerry had his baseball career interrupted twice to serve in the military in World War II and in Korea. He is a war hero first and a baseball player second. I lament that our culture has become one that honors celebrities more than heroes. We really need some heroes.

    how cool, I think you are right, we do need more heroes. You didn’t know this but courage is my favorite character trait 🙂
