Two more things:
1. He looks exactly like Dante Sr. I hope he hits like him.
2. I still like the movie "Dante's Peak" and watch it whenever I'm flipping through and it's on.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

Welcome Dante Bichette Jr!
Last night, the Yankees drafted a familiar baseball name - Dante Bichette Jr at #51 overall. That was their first pick after losing their first rounder to Tampa after the Rafael Soriano mess.A lot of Yankee fans are a bit upset with the selection, as there were some big names left on the board...signability guys mostly. I'm not so upset. I know the scouting department must love this guys to take him at #51, and he has big time power. He is listed as a 3B but from what I've reading he is destined for LF. Interestingly, Joe Girardi is good friends with Dante Bichette Sr and even named one of his sons "Dante." I don't think that had anything to do with it, but still a cool tidbit.

I was so hoping the Rox drafted him, but oh well. Maybe when the Yankees trade him for a veteran it can be with the Rox.
