I used to collect Pedroia a few years back. Not only is he on my favorite team, but he's my favorite type of player. Balls to the wall and all out.....
That's a really good question. I've been a White Sox fan my entire life and my girlfriend has been a Red Sox fan her whole life. I've been a Peavy fan since he was picked up by the White Sox and always enjoyed watching how fired up he would get on the mound. Plus, he seems like a great guy off the field too. There was a lot of ribbing around the house when he got traded to the Red Sox and part of this ribbing included gifts of baseball cards and a Peavy Red Sox shirt. It actually became somewhat of a race as I tried to pick up 2013 Peavy White Sox cards and she tried to pick up Red Sox cards!
I've always been a bit partial to pitchers, so that and being a White Sox fan makes Chris Sale highly collectable for me. Plus, if the Sox could start giving him some run support, a Cy Young could be coming soon!
The SO has a soft spot for Boston's home grown talent, so that's where the Pedroia and Buchholz collections started.
On another note, how do you guys typically display your rainbows? I'd like to frame them for my cave, but not really sure how I want to do it yet. Anyone have any good examples?
