Back in the year 2000, collecting baseball cards was a big part of my life. I especially enjoyed finding gems of rookies and minor leagues we all knew would become big stars one day. One of the best examples of a player who fits this description was New York Mets prospect of the past, Jorge Toca.
Every August I would go to the Poconos with my father and sister. My dad had an old co-worker who owned a house up there and we got run of the place for two weeks each summer. He also collected baseball memorabilia.
