Some of the Salt Lake teams have played together two years or more, Amorim said. Also, the association is broken up into groups, divisions 1,2 and 3, with 1 having the more experienced, better quality teams.

The teams success during the season was due to a healthy ' combination of talented kids and supportive parents, Amorim said. The team played a very patient, controlled game, using a lot of passing instead of continually running up and down the field, Amorim said.

HATCH Review Sports Editor As you open the door to Joe Caseys basement in his house in Farmington, a waft of a fruity aroma immediately catches your attention. The smell is familiar to anyone who was once a kid, and can bring back a flood of memories gathered during childhood summers spent hanging around the comer market. The odor is .unmistakably bub blegum, and it reveals Caseys bubble gum cards at one time or addiction. Not to gum, but to another, And some have even collecting the baseball cards that gone so far as to collect a shoe-bo- x come with it. or two full. But Casey says he has a over a Collecting cards is no small it is a ton of cards, and he has filled pastime with Casey consuming passion. filing cabinets, shelves and cardIts probably a neurosis.

He said. started in 1959 in Allentown, Nearly every kid who loves Pennsylvania when he was eight, baseball has bought a packet of let the cards gather dust for awhile when he discovered girls in his teen years, but started back up again after he got married. I guess I first got started as a kid mostly because of competi- tion with my best friend Carl Crouse. He started collecting cards, and then 1 started, and we got to be pretty competitive. Some of my best memories of Allentown are of Crousie and me going down to Hender-shack- s Grocery store to buy a pack of cards. Sometimes even today when I run across a card I got back then I can remember where I was and when it was that I opened that pack, Casey said. In addition to the nostalgia and the passion to have more cards than anyone else, Casey realizes there has become a lucrative side to his collecting. In 1979, long after he had be- -. gun amassing his library, card collecting really took off, Casey . said. Since then the hobby has gained popularity and stature through exposure until it is now the third largest hobby behind stamp collecting and coin coland it is gaining rapidlecting ly on coin collecting, Casey said. Baseball cards most commonly come in packs with bubblegum, but that was not the way they were first packaged. The cards first came out in 1886 as stiffeners put in packs of cigarettes. Cigarettes became popular dur-- . ing the Civil War, and manufacturers put stiffeners in the packs to keep them from crushed, Casey said. being Then someone got the idea to girls put pictures of dance-ha- ll on the stiffeners in the 1870s. That lasted until 86 when baseball players pictures were substituted. Casey said he has half a dozen cards from that first year. To offer as an example of how lucrative baseball card collecting can be, Casey tells the story of why a 1909 Honas Wagner card recently sold for around $25,000.; The 1909 Honas Wagner card was issued with tobacco, and Wagner was dead set against the use of tobacco. When he found out the tobacco company planned to use his picture in connection with their product, he was furious and threatened to sue. Photo by Robert Regan ; They pulled the cards, but they had already printed them like they up and a few got out always do, Casey said. An interesting side note to this story is that a few years later Wagner reversed his position on tobacco and Casey says he has a card of Wagner with a big wad of chew in the side of his mouth. The worth of any particular card is determined by the age of the card, its scarcity, its condia tion and who the player is to is card Mantle going Mickey be worth more than a Hector Lopez card even though AJW Btafrt(3bWtlftPNew YorkWat)-- , e JOE CASEY sits encircled by filing cabinets filled with baseball- - cards, while boxes of unopened cards line his basement shelves. keeluj-ifitftani- eraaij ' ContimuHiwpaffiT 2C.' |
