When you’re rare
you’re worth a lot.
Even if you’re just
the kid brother
afterthought
working in a coal
mine
at 12 years old—
you can
dream,
believe,
become.
Like becoming
one of the
first 5 players
elected
to the National
Baseball Hall of Fame,
or becoming
the first
to get your signature
on
the Louisville
Slugger,
or have yours
be the most valuable
baseball card in
history.
Like
Honus,
there’s only one you,
and it might be
schmaltzy
to say, but—
that’s pretty rare.
