The Green Grass of Baseball

I've probably told this story in the blog before. How I saw my first in-person baseball game when I was 8 or 9 years old at Philadelphia's old Connie Mack Stadium. My strongest memory of that game was coming through the tunnel and seeing how green the grass was. I'd only seen baseball on a black and white TV. The green was just stunning to me.

So, here in the dead of winter, are some randomly selected baseball cards with a lot of green grass.
