They know a thing or two about baseball cards too. We were allowed to ride our bikes to school on Fridays in the Spring. This would have been time time when kids attached baseball cards to clothes pins, attached the clothes pin somewhere close to the tire, and when the card hit the spokes it made the bike sound powerful, at least to a fourth grader. One good Sister of St. Joseph inspected the baseball cards to make sure none of us used cards that might be collector’s items one day. I don’t recall if baseball cards were of much value in 1973, but a friend who owns a sports memorabilia store credits This nun with teaching him how to collect baseball cards. Sr. Mary Jo may be the first nun on a baseball card, and attaching a piece of the veil may be unique, but I’m not sure I’d call it a “relic.” In Catholic terms, a relic belonged to a saint. Sr. Mary Jo looks alive and well to me and has not yet reached her heavenly reward. 😇 It’s a great tribute to Sr. Mary Jo and the Marian Catholic community. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook'emCavies Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 I just came back from my barber shop and I bumped into a gentleman who marched with The Cavaliers in 2012. He is a very nice guy and teaches at my high school. I learned a lot from him and it made me even more excited for the season!!! Woo!
