We had decided on the name Marcus long before we had a middle name chosen. In fact, the middle name was kind of a stroke of genius in the delivery room: Léonin. It wasn’t until later that it occurred to us that that would make his initials MLB.
Which, in case this needs to be pointed out, are also the initials of Major League Baseball.
I started collecting baseball cards when I was 8, so I wasn’t entirely sure I should start Marcus, with his 6th birthday still a month away. But he seemed to show the requisite interest. So . . . . I bought him his first packs.
And I made sure I had my camera when he opened them up. For explanations, there are (itty bitty) captions at the bottom left of the images.
This post is in: Marcus
