I came across this 1962 Mexican one sheet featuring Manuel Benitez aka El Cordobes and had to have it. The title APRENDIENDO A MORIR translates as learning to die. Benitez was to Spain what Mantle was to the USA in the 1960s. I saw him late in his career and he was still mesmerizing. His biography is titled Or I'll Dress You In Mourning is a great read. Original Pancho Villa photos and El Cordobes items are my only collecting venture outside of baseball. Thanks for indulging me.

Facinating!...I just read Benitez's wiki...Actually in offbeat sports mountaineering is another sport I find facinating...
