I know the Opening Day Bonds and Murphy Jeter might be a little niche. However, I expressly remember them being plastered all of over the magazines, the Jeter with its intrigue as a limited release, and being of the ultra-hot new Stadium Club, and the Bonds because he was inescapable at the time, and errors being such a BIG deal back then.. Anyway, really enjoyed it, thanks David!
