Baseball card wisdom

I have been sipping a beer, listening to the Giants' game on the radio (via MLB.com) and thumbing through my complete set of TOPPS' 1991 BASEBALL CARDS.
I could spend hours studying the fronts and backs of these cards.
The backs, in particular, offer a wealth of tidbits about the players' careers. Occasionally, however, the information seems rather esoteric.
Consider the following:
"Mark made an appearance in a motion picture in 1990."
-- Mark Grace, Cubs
"Roger is one of baseball's foremost practical jokers."
-- Roger McDowell, Phillies
"Delino lists music and photography among his hobbies."
-- Delino DeShields, Expos
"Cris enjoys both bass fishing and quail hunting."
-- Cris Carpenter, Cardinals
"Scott has his own rock group, named 'Scared Straight.'"
-- Scott Radinsky, White Sox
"Al earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting."
-- Al Newman, Twins
"One of Walt's favorite activities is listening to the music of Bruce Springsteen. Walt has served as a guest disc jockey on an Oakland-area rock station."
-- Walt Weiss, Athletics
"Mickey lists Froot Loops among his favorite foods."
-- Mickey Tettleton, Orioles
"Mike's favorite activities are dancing and bowling."
-- Mike Felder, Brewers
The sun is shining, I am listening to baseball and looking at baseball cards. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
