I minored in Russian in college (during a very different time, more than 25 years ago, when Russia was moving away from more than seventy years of communism). During that time, I saw quite a few examples of Russian icons, illuminated Orthodox church paintings that surrounded stylized pictures of saints with golden halos. I wondered how this could apply to baseball cards, especially of Hall of Famers and other notable players that make up something of a gallery of saints themselves.
