Very sorry to hear of his passing. I always thought he belonged in Cooperstown, along with a couple other folks we lost recently, Al Dark and Minnie Minoso. Rosen and Dark probably lost out because they lost time due to World War II, and Minoso due to the color barrier.

Mr. Rosen was kind enough to sign a 1953 Topps for my project back in August. I don't have a photobucket, but the picture is here. A couple days after he died, I was looking at the card and I noticed the card's original owner had drawn a mustache in pencil on him. I hadn't noticed it before, but now it's all I see when I look at the card. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to remove it?
