Special Thanks to a member

I wanted to thank Doug Goodman for sending me a scorecard that I have been looking for that I recently posted about on BST. My uncle played for the Pirates from 1947-1953 and only hit a handful of home runs in his career. I decided to try to get scorecards from those games.

He offered to send the scorecard with no compensation. While I've had a lot of activity on the tobacco card BST, I've done nothing on the memorabilia side. I am constantly amazed at the generosity and helpfulness of board members.

Oh, and by the way, the scorecard he sent also had recorded Duke Snider's 21st career home run.

Thanks again Doug.

Your uncle's name was Peter.

Yep, Frank. Peter Paul Castiglione. Uncle Pete to me; passed a little over two years ago. Didn't get to spend much time with him, but he danced up a storm at my wedding in 1999.
