I love him because he was so jovial and handled the racism with humor and dignity. I also love him because of his attitude after his accident. He kept that smile and did what he could to help others. He was also a man of faith which I appreciate. If you haven't read "It's Good to be Alive" by Roy Campanella do yourself a favor and check it out.
BTW I have a 53 topps for sale in my 53 topps FS post in the BST
Beautiful Displays Chris!!!!
