Alright, let’s talk about this fella, Pat Mahomes Sr., and his baseball cards. You know, the young folks, they all know about his son, the football star. But the old man, he had his own thing going on, way back when. He played that baseball, the pitching kind. Yep, he threw that little ball real hard, I tell ya.
Pat Mahomes Sr.’s Baseball Career
Now, from what I hear, this Pat, he played a long time. Started way back in 1992 and kept at it till 2003. That’s a good chunk of time, if you ask me. He played for all sorts of teams, too. Them Red Sox up in Boston, the Mets in New York, even those Rangers down in Texas. He hopped around a bit, that one did. And don’t forget the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Seems like he got around, seein’ the country through baseball.
- Boston Red Sox: Heard they’re a big deal.
- New York Mets: City fellas, them.
- Texas Rangers: Out in the hot country.
- Chicago Cubs: Always hearin’ about them on the radio.
- Pittsburgh Pirates: Never did understand why they call ‘em pirates. Ain’t no water around.
And get this, he’s even in some Hall of Fame, up in Sioux Falls with the Canaries. Good for him, I say. Folks rememberin’ him, that’s somethin’. Makes an old lady like me think about the good ol’ days.
The Baseball Cards
Now, these cards, they got his picture on ‘em. Little cardboard things, but folks go crazy for ‘em. They got all sorts of different kinds too. Some from when he was just startin’ out, they call ‘em “rookie cards.” Guess everyone starts somewhere, even big shot baseball players.
You can find these cards all over the place, I reckon. They got ‘em on that internet thing, the “eBay” and other places. People sellin’ and buyin’ ‘em, like they’re gold or somethin’. I seen some folks talkin’ ’bout prices and such. Some cards cost more than others, dependin’ on how old they are and which team he was playin’ for at the time, I guess.
Looking for Cards
If you’re lookin’ for these cards, like I said, the internet’s the place to go. You can find all sorts of ‘em, new and old. Just type in his name, “Pat Mahomes,” and they pop right up. Heck, even I could figure it out, and I ain’t no spring chicken.
1992 Pinnacle Pat Mahomes #472
Folks say this card is a good one. Guess they look at what other folks have paid before to figure it out. Makes sense, I suppose. If someone paid a lot before, chances are others will too. That’s how they get them prices.
1992 Topps #676 Patrick Mahomes sr. Rookie Card
Now this one, they call it a rookie card, meaning it’s from when he was real young and just starting out. Folks love them rookie cards, they do. I heard you have to make sure the guy sellin’ it ain’t lyin’ though. Gotta make sure it’s the real deal.
1992 Ultra Pat Mahomes #398
Another card from 1992. Seems like that was a big year for him and his cards. They look at the prices on these ones too, same as the others. Always about the money with them fellas.
Comparing to Tom Brady
Now, this might sound strange, but they talk about this Tom Brady fella when they talk about Pat Mahomes’ cards sometimes. Tom Brady, he played that football, not baseball, but he’s a big deal too, see. They compare ‘em ‘cause they’re both famous athletes and their stuff is worth somethin’. Tom Brady, he signed a deal with some company for his autographs on cards. Makes you think how much these cards can be worth, I tell ya.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it. Pat Mahomes Sr., a baseball fella, got his cards out there. If you like collectin’ things, or just want a piece of history, I guess you could go lookin’ for ‘em. Just be careful, don’t spend all your money on them little cardboards. There’s more to life than baseball cards, that’s for sure.
But hey, to each their own, I always say. If it makes you happy, that’s all that matters. Now, where did I put my glasses? Can’t see a thing these days…
