As I was reading the back of that card, I thought it was a poor choice of words to call him a "deadly" passer, since I knew he died quite young - then it even mentions his death on the card! Seems like they almost went out of their way to use "deadly."
A big part of why I collect the Red Sox team sets is to learn more about the history of the team and players, especially the lesser knowns such as Agganis, Jackie Jensen, Mel Parnell, etc. I also take whatever doubles (triples, etc.) and give them to my two boys, nephews and niece on their birthdays with a letter about the players and the teams they were on. It's been fun so far and maybe they'll take up the hobby themselves.
