I'm not sure how many of you on net54 knew John Hudman from Houston, Texas, but he passed away last night after a long stay in the hospital.
John and I knew each other well because of his passion for collecting Nolan Ryan. John was a collector of all things Nolan Ryan and HOF related autographs.
At one time, John had the most advanced Ryan collection going in the hobby. In 1999, while attending the grand pre-opening of the Nolan Ryan Center in Alvin, TX, I had the pleasure of getting to see his collection first hand. Truly an epic collection!
Here's a toast to John Hudman, a true collecting legend! RIP John
