Bill Gregory---very moving and intelligent post. In my heart Mr. Minoso belongs to the Hall of Fame as a pioneer. I couldn't seem to formulate the words and thoughts to express why. You have done so, eloquently, and may your words reach the Veterans Committee. However, my stomach hurts at the thought Minnie wouldn't be there in person anyway to relish the rightful acknowledgement by MLB.
Thanks too for uploading the image of his 1956 Topps. I had forgotten how compelling of a card that is, and it's right there with the Red Heart for beauty and depicts the gusto, passion, and incredible drive with which he played the game. Again, bravo, Bill. ---Brian Powell
PS--Dennis, just got a load of your nice wire photo with its accompanying caption. A beaute. Magnifico! Ole, Minnie! Thanks pal.
