Another terrific addition to your already superb collection Scott!

BTW...Al. Are you taking good care of my Gehrig/Burke photo?
Thanks Jimmy! I especially like the fact that the photo was signed around the time frame that Johnson threw his last strikeout (he had 3508 K's in his career). This became the strikeout standard that Ryan (and subsequently others) passed en route to his career 5714 K's. I look at this as essentially passing the torch, one generation to another. Walter was the flamethrowing right hander of his era, Nolan ditto during his.
