Another Cub collector except I collect all things Cubs related. My player is Hank Sauer (only as a Cub). I had the opportunity to meet him at a signing one year. I told him the my story of sending him a letter in 1952 asking for an autograph and never getting a reply. He then proceeded tell me he must have not received it as he always replied to requests for autographs. He asked me to sit next to him while he was signing and we talked baseball for a long time. My wife didn't understand but she hung in there. I also have branched off into Bears and some Blackhawks.

I got back into collecting in 2023 after nearly three decades (I sold my junk wax collection to buy a nice car stereo at 16), and last year, got into pre-war Indianapolis (where I grew up) baseball. It’s been great to learn about the different eras and players. I’ve been fortunate to get these items from fellow members.

As a youth, it was all about Dale Murphy. Nowadays, the only one I latched onto was Buck Herzog. We share the same birthday, and I thought a backrun would be fun.
Love these threads! Bill

I collect Roberto Clemente and Pirates Hall of Famers. I grew up in LA in the 60s. I didn't like the Angels or Dodgers. I thought Clemente was the best player in the game and so I started rooting for the Pirates. I saw them win in 1971 and 1979 and have stuck with them since.
