treasure

Here's a note that only another old Smith-Wills Stadium denizen could appreciate: Pulled from a pack of 1991 Fleer Ultra cards, four former Jackson Mets (Lenny Dykstra, Mookie Wilson, Dave Magadan and Shawn Abner) plus a Jackson State alumnus (Wes Chamberlain). What are the odds? Why do we care? We just do.
P.S. For the record, Julio Teheran became the 52nd former Mississippi Brave to reach the big leagues when the young right-hander made his debut on Saturday, taking the loss in a spot start against Philadelphia. Teheran shared in a no-hitter last year at Trustmark Park.
