Stan Musial (1920-2013)

I recently purchased another index card autograph from an eBay seller. There are many Musial signatures floating around, and this one isn't as clean as I'd hope - the underline and player name doesn't add much for me, nor is the cut sig. mounted on an index card exactly what I'd call ideal - but it was a great price.

Stan "The Man" Musial was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969, and passed away just a few years ago. This cardinal legend is one of the best players in my collection, though his autograph is far from rare.

This was a nice one to finally add, after a failed attempt in 2011 and another one in 2012.

Rest in Peace, Willie McCovey

It was sad to learn of the passing of another member of the Baseball Hall of Fame this week. 

Willie McCovey, Hall of Famer and Giants legend, died on Wednesday at the age of age 80. 

There are now 78 living players in the Hall of Fame, at least until the next class of inductees or the next passing.
