Honus Wagner sets another record.

Honus Wagner, the baseball Hall of Famer who retired in 1917, just set another record. His 1909 baseball card sold at auction this week for 2.35 million dollars. It seems the card is rare because it was distributed by a cigarette company and Wagner, a non-smoker, had it recalled because he didn't want to encourage children to develop any bad habits. I wonder if any of today's ballpalyers are listening...can you say steroids?
