Bobby Doerr
This Thursday, April 7th, Mr. Doerr will be turning 98. I think it would be kind of neat if we all would make an effort to send him a birthday card in the next couple of days. Mine will go in the mail tomorrow.

Great idea Rich; I'll try to get one out to him before Thursday.

Rich- If you could post his address, I am sure more of us would like to send a card! Thanks, Raymond

Nice idea..........
Birthday card to Bobby Doerr is in the mail. I'm certain he would truly enjoy receiving cards on his 98th birthday........he's the last 1930's MLB player (rookie season 1937), and oldest HOFer. He's always been one of my favorites, and a real gentleman. A few of my Bobby Doerr cards (would like to see some Bobby Doerr cards posted from others, as well as any personal remembrances or encounters).

I just find it amazing that he will be 98 and still signs through the mail. His signature is a bit rough, but just making it to that age is amazing.

In 1978, Jack Wallin issued a 100 card set (became 200) of players who would sign TTM. It came with an address list. I got though about 2/3 of the set before discovering girls and rock and roll music. Found the set recently while tidying up...the Doerr card was not signed so I sent it to him with a note around Christmas...I am pretty sure he is the only living player from the first series. He signed and returned it to me...more than 30 years after I had gotten the next most recent one signed. Thanks, Mr. Doerr!
