Wayne Nordhagen

Another common question that comes up, why Wayne Nordhagen? He's not a star by most standards. He's not even a Twins player. I PC Nordhagen for many reasons. A junkwax era card of his was one of my first cards, when after a round of putt-putt at my local course I used my tickets for a hodge-podge of 1981 Fleer cards. My parents were searching for awkward poses, or weird names, I found the one player that shared my hometown. I HAD to have that one. Secondly, I collect it because, as I just stated, he's from my hometown, -and- the only player from my town. Thirdly, why not, I need a collection outside of my Twins!
