Episode 98 - Baseball’s First Greatest Showman

New year, new history. We start it off right by comparing prices on Cameo and try to figure out why Hall of Famers are so undervalued on the platform. Real important stuff. Christopher Fredrick Wilhelm von der Ahe might have one of the longest names in baseball history. He never picked up a bat or threw a ball but he was one of early baseballs most important owners. He pioneered the fan experience in ways that are still around today. He also wore spats on his shows, always traveled with his 2 greyhounds and changed managers at a pace that would make George Steinbrenner blush. Finally we start the new year off with something that has never happened before in Wax Pack Heroes.

We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes. If you've got those Tom Foley or Ernest Riles cards just sitting around you can donate those commons to charity and maybe spark a child's interest in baseball and collecting. Find out more here: http://commons4kids.org/
