The Baseball Card Gift

This San Diego, CA coach has his own baseball card. The team made it.

Mike Johnson from San Diego, CA

Mike Johnson from San Diego, CA coached the team for a decade. "I coached Little League for ten years. The team wanted to do something for my last season." he says.

The Team's Idea

The parents wanted to do something special. They made a baseball card with Mike Johnson's photo and coaching stats on it. Wins, championships, years coached.

The team gave me my own baseball card. That's better than any trophy.

The Presentation

At the end-of-season party, every kid handed Mike Johnson a pack. Inside was his trading card. "I keep one framed in my office. The stats are real - games won, championships, years coached."

The Card Now

The parents ordered physical trading cards - one for each kid and a framed version for Mike Johnson. He keeps it in his office. The kids all kept theirs.

"Some of those kids will have that card in a box somewhere 20 years from now," Mike Johnson says. "That means something."
