In his briefcase, he had several of his own cards and gave me one of his 1969's. <br /><br />In my mind's eye, I can still see him in our family room in a 70's salesman's suit and big sideburns. Really happy, gregarious guy, always smiling. That baseball card was more like a business card for him. Only 8 or 9 years old, I'd never heard of him before (he acted surprised).Jim Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444485339413731463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865519228352947442.post-4472720358183725782009-11-22T12:29:15.933-05:002009-11-22T12:29:15.933-05:00Dick Egan is further down in this blog.Dick Egan is further down in this blog.Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865519228352947442.post-4348723589386955372009-11-22T00:44:16.378-05:002009-11-22T00:44:16.378-05:00My exception to the rule: I'll collect high nu...My exception to the rule: I'll collect high number 1967 Dodgers.
