RIP Ralph Branca
He surrendered arguably the most famous home run ever.
Bobby Thomson has been waiting for him to arrive. He also shares my birthday. Thank You Ralph, for showing us how to cope with failure. God Speed. j6

I have several Branca autographs, but a buddy notified me that he would be at a live signing, maybe in the last 12-18 months. I can't remember exactly when it was, but they were charging $25 per autograph. Branca is pretty easy to get in general, so $25 sounds somewhat steep. I didn't want to go overboard, so I picked out a couple of vintage cards and mailed them off. They turned out nice and well worth the $25 a pop. Wouldn't do it with a 90 Pacific Legends though!
 RIP Mr. Branca. I was surprised to recognize him in a small movie role too a few years back… http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1047540/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1
