Bates' Box of Bowman (at BP)

[Seth Stohs]

So, if you were at the Twins Daily Winter Meltdown on Saturday night, you may have seen Mike Bates and his box of 1990 Bowman. Upon signing in, Mike came over to me, we chatted, and I noted his box of Bowman. I asked if it was his big Twins Fest purpose. He handed me a gift, a pack of cards, yes, with 30-year-old gum. 

 

Be sure to check out his Baseball Prospectus article on the box of Bowman... How fun!

If you like watching people open up 30-year-old packs of baseball cards, you can watch me open up my 1990 Bowman pack and a pack of 1987 Topps and see what I got. Others posted what they got too! It truly was a fantastic and fun social experiment.
