RE: Zeprock Collection
2001 was the year of 9/11. I was standing alone in the control room at the tv station I worked for watching Katie Couric report on a plane hitting one of the Twin Towers in NYC while a live shot of the burning building played behind her. Then I saw the second plane crash into the other tower and could not believe what I was witnessing. Within an hour there were about 20 co-workers in the control room all gathered around watching the horror unfold. My wife was teaching in her classroom when a co-worker of hers came in and gave her the news. I think we all knew where we were and what we were doing on that particular day. Baseball went on after a brief hiatus and I think played a role in the healing of America. Here are nine cards from my collection all from that year.

2001 Donruss Classics Combos #14 Lou Brock/100
2001 E-X #131 Albert Pujols/499 RC (I remember pulling this card from a pack of 2001 Fleer Platinum and was surprised that it wasn't a Fleer Platinum card. The owner of Collector's Corner in Brewer, Maine where I'd bought and pulled it said that Pujols was a highly touted rookie and if he went on to have a decent career, I might have a good card there. I believe there are only 499 of these in existence.)
