Article: Nothing like baseball cards to restore youth.(Sports)

Byline: Mike Imrem

It's more difficult to wax romantic about baseball these days, what with all the evil potions and the culprits who use them to stack their stats.

But then I came upon a riddle that wasn't wrapped in a scandal.

Q. What do Edwin Encarnacion, Mark Reynolds, Mark Loretta, Jim Thome, Josh Anderson, Josh Willingham, Jimmy Rollins, Jake Peavy, the combination of Austin Kearns and Dmitri Young, and the combination of Alex Rodriguez, Magglio Ordonez and Vladimir Guerrero have in common?

A. They were in the pack of baseball cards I bought at a 7- Eleven a couple of days ago.
