Even better considering that the year of 1987 is mentioned several times with regards to Dawson and Bell's respective MVPs. <br /><br />@ Kevin: Thank you! Indeed, critiquing anonymous baseball card copywriters is like shooting fish in a barrel, but super-fun nonetheless!mkenny59https://www.blogger.com/profile/05234341530938587397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-67233918216891975982010-10-07T08:01:23.047-04:002010-10-07T08:01:23.047-04:00Mike, I just wanted to say that this is one of the...Mike, I just wanted to say that this is one of the funniest things I've ever read on this blog.
