    The Taro Tsujimoto rookie card: Honoring an unreal player

    He wasn't the first draft choice to fail to make it to the NHL, but he certainly was the first player to not exist as all.
    The legend of Taro Tsujimoto began during the 1974 NHL Draft. During the 11th round, Buffalo Sabres GM Punch Imlach became bored at the Draft's drawn-out process and decided to play a prank ... by inventing a player to select with his pick.

    If you didn't know who Taro Tsujimoto was before now you do. How awesome would it be to get one of these cards?

    That is awesome.




    For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

    It would be more awesome if it was from 1974 and not 2011.
