I stole this baseball card from whatevs.org not so much because I care that the Yankees have hired their beloved Don Mattingly as the new hitting coach, but mainly because it stirred up painful memories of my youth.
You see, when I was first starting my baseball-card collection (a hobby that never really took off for me... but I digress), the crown jewel was my 1982 Topps Don Mattingly (street value: 5 bucks). One day, my brother had a "friend" over, and the bastard stole it right from under me. If karma has its way, one can only hope the guy is now filling the fried-chicken tray at Popeye's in Chowchilla.
