Also a fellow card collector and true friend of the autograph world. A house fire several years ago destroyed most of his collection. He spent years trying to rebuild, often asking fans for help in locating cards from his want list. He was a wonderful correspondent to anyone who wished to write him and mailed out Christmas cards to so many fans each year until his health forbade it.
As you can see, he was a very warm person. It's funny, as sportswriters all had a chip on their shoulder about Frank for years. They thought the opposite about him when he first came up. The truth being he was just a shy kid which they misconstrued negatively. Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 01-17-2023 at 06:15 AM.
