@GasHouseGang - With all due respect, Ted's 100th birthday calls for an extra special 1954 Topps card (I haven't found a frame big enough yet) :D ...

As a New Yorker, I always hated the Sox, but then my dad (a Navy man) regaled me with stories about Ted's service to our country and BOOM!! I started to instantly love the man. Happy birthday, Captain.

Awaiting arrival of this key card for my 1957 set...

Mark,
That will never fit in a Card Saver, so PSA won't grade it! That's great. What is it? A poster, or maybe a painting?

Ted was at the "head" of his class. What a player ! Imagine his stats without the war years.

Happy Birthday to Ted! Without the years missed in WWII and Korea, I feel he would truly be in the conversation for the greatest player ever.

The man hit .388 with 38 bombs at 38 years old, before we knew drinking and smoking every night might be bad for you.
