Baseball cards and kids

Not sure how many out there have kids that collect cards, but it's impressive all the good things baseball cards teach them (without them knowing); organization, reading, numbers, graphs, ect ...

My 7yr old is going thru his Angels and Twins cards as we watch the game. He reading out the names, letting me know how many games they've played, how many total homers and so on. I think it's pretty cool.

Plus it's a nice break not getting beaten by the kids at Guitar Hero again.

I have a 7 year old grandson that just really started getting interested in the baseball card thing too. Same deal with him FS. He reads me the stats same way. upperdeckkids.com also has a lot of info and fun stuff for the kids too. He's got that in his favorites.

Absolutely right about the benefits of improving reading and learning skills.

Won't but any type of Gameboy, guitar hero,don't like them on the computer, ect.....
