Download Cardboard Gods: An All-American Tale Told through Baseball Cards AudioBook Free
Cardboard Gods is the memoir of Josh Wilker, an excellent writer that has marked the periods of his life through the football cards he accumulated as a kid. It also catches the knowledge of growing up obsessed with baseball cards and explores what this means to be a fan of the game. Along the way, as we get to know Josh, his family, and his friends, we also get Josh's classic observations about the central artifacts from his life - the football cards themselves. Josh writes about an thought correspondence along with his favorite player, Carl Yastrzemski; he uses the wonderful bubble-blowing power of journeyman Kurt Bevacqua to shed light on the weakening of the powerful years as a child bond along with his older brother; he considers the doomed utopian back-to-the-land dreams of his hippie parents against the backdrop of inimitable 1970s football characters such as "Designated Pinch Runner" Supplement Washington and Make "The Bird" Fidrych. Cardboard Gods is more than just the storyline of a guy who can't forget about his history, it's confirmation that - to paraphrase Jim Bouton - as children we expand up holding football cards but in the finish we realize that it's really the other way around.
