Certain Cards with Memories
I think it was about 20 years ago and I was living in NJ. A small dealer was hosting a small show with Bob Feller, no surprise there, nearby and, of course, my attendance was necessary. I needed something for his autograph and dragged along a beat-up copy of his '54 Bowman. When I finally got to face the great man himself, he got to talking about the card, the water cooler shot as he called it. He always had a reputation of being pretty gruff but he couldn't have been nicer, talking at length about the Indian pitching rotation and how Herb Score would have won the Cy Young if he hadn't caught a line drive in the eye.
