Actually, I don't need to because Jason (see his comment above) posted quite a few of them on YouTube.<br /><br />As for Aaron... I don't think he meant it in a disrespectful way. Or at least I should say, I didn't take it that way. I personally think he used the media and certain fans' words/actions as motivation to make himself better. But that might just be wishful thinking, since I don't know and have never met Mr. Aaron himself.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-53609788056777864112012-11-25T12:59:35.738-08:002012-11-25T12:59:35.738-08:00Thank you for this post, it inspired to bid on a s...Thank you for this post, it inspired to bid on a set on Ebay. Just got it and its just as fun as it seems. The first one I played was one of the Hank Aaron's where I was a little shocked to hear him say he sick and tired (his choice of words)of not getting enough acclaim which inspired him to take Ruth's HR record.David in the northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14742352544082310769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-72144043318862381952012-11-05T20:35:23.339-08:002012-11-05T20:35:23.339-08:00Thanks...

My plan is to post the recordings to YouTube so everyone can hear them. I may post a video per pack as I think the cards I'm getting are still in their packs. I'll post something about it on my blog when I get the first video up. I'm really surprised no one else has done that already.<br /><br />I also want to post the Dave Winfield birthday greeting cassette tape someone sent me awhile back.<br /><br />I think when these first came out, the player was just too expensive for many people to want to bother with, but there were a few of these interactive baseball card type things out around 1989, trying to bring an extra dimension to baseball cards. The Starting Lineup Talking Baseball game is the other that comes to mind. And I guess the Classic trivia games could also fit that field, though I don't know of anyone who ever actually played the game with the cards.Jason Presleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543465200431539036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-25985774887151830602012-10-30T15:07:48.808-07:002012-10-30T15:07:48.808-07:00I vote for cool.
