First a Chicago team, Second Comiskey Park and the photo itself. Decades later I sent one off for an autograph, about four days before he died.

...I've been slacking on reading blogs lately.. <br />That card is nice though. I'm not much of a collector aside from baseball. I don't collect hockey aside from two players, no basketball, no football.. So something like this wouldn't work out well for me..
