I'm heading home from Peoria, Illinois today. That's the hometown of both Jim Thome and Joe Girardi. I didn't know Girardi in college but our team shared a locker room with his team.
Today is St. Patrick's day. Only two players named Pat got onto a Kellogg's card - Pat Kelly and Pat Zachry. I always liked Kelly when he was on the White Sox. Why? I am a fan of the Cubs. I always liked the outfielders since that's where I liked to sit at Comiskey Park.
I was not a fan of Pat Zachry only because he spent time on the Mets. I will still wish him a Happy St. Patrick's Day.
Freddie Patek is included here since he's the only player with a Kellogg's card that also has the letters "Pat" in his name. Happy St. Patrick's Day to him too.
Patek retired on 10-03-1981 and Pat Kelly's last game was the next day.
More tomorrow when I have more time.
A look at Kellogg's cereal cards and related items from all sports.
