Love that Sisler. I live near Akron, OH, which is where Sisler is from. My Grandpa played high school ball in Akron, and minor league ball in Findlay, OH. Before he passed a couple years ago, he talked about knowing Sisler. I wish I had picked my Grandpa's brain a bit more and listened to his stories more carefully. I forget in which capacity he knew George, whether it be an encounter on the ball diamond, or somewhere around Akron through work. Nonetheless, awesome card.
Thanks for the congrats, Brian!
