Celebrating Easter with the Rabbit!!!

Ask any little kid (and most adults for that matter) what they think of when they hear Happy Easter and you're likely going to get a response ranging from Easter Bunny to colored eggs to ham dinner.  Sadly you won't hear many people recognize the true meaning of Easter.  My blog isn't meant to create any cultural or philosophical intrigue into our society.  I simply like to show off baseball cards I have acquired.  One such card is a Rabbit Maranville Cooperstown I got for a $1.

I wanted to show off a bible verse inscription card today, but sadly I don't have anymore to share.

Please take the day to celebrate the true meaning of the Holiday and enjoy the day with your family/friends/loved ones.

Happy Easter from the PTR

Remember when I did that Animal nickname post in February?

If not...go check it out.  I got some cool cards I showed off and put some quality thought into it.
Today's post is short and simple.


Here comes Rabbit Maranville hopping down the bunny trail. Hippity hoppity, Easter's here today!!!!!!
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday today.

Walter "Rabbit" Maranville was a shortstop who played in the early 20th century.  He has the 8th most triples all time (177) for players who played their careers after 1900 and has an all time putout record for all shortstops with 5,139.  He played 3 seasons with the Pirates from 1921-1924 and was inducted into the baseball hall of fame in 1954 with a near 83% vote.

The Springfield, Massachusets native got his nickname for his tiny stature as he stood only 5ft5 and weighed 155 pounds.

The 2012 Panini Cooperstown card was purchased at a mall card show last month for $1.
