Back in 1991, I attended my first Major League game at old Tiger Stadium with my grandfather’s church group. That day the Tigers played the Kansas City Royals and Brett was on the field. In the years since, I have been lucky enough to attend more than 25 Major League games, but Brett is probably still the best player I have seen play in person. In a nod to my grandfather, and my first big league game, Brett’s rookie card makes my list.
