Brian James Buchanan

I sure do like Mothers Cookies, especially the frosted animals, and I must confess I really like the pink ones better than the white ones. Weirdness is afoot. By the way their card sets were pretty cool also, I wish teams still did them. This card is from one of the Keebler sets, who replaced Mothers around the turn of the century. I sent it to Brian when he was with the Padres and got it back pretty quickly.
