===================
It's been a year tinged with sadness for Darwin Day — but also one that has turned into "a complete joyride."
After his brother died of cancer earlier this year, it prompted Day to do some soul searching — and some housecleaning. In the midst of that, the 70-year-old Grand Prairie resident and lifelong baseball fan discovered a complete collection of Topps baseball cards from 1957-58.
WIN THESE SWELL PRIZES IN THE 4TH BAZOOKA BASEBALL CONTEST, the cards read on the back.
Day noticed something in the fine print: No year was given to enter the contest.
