Very cool. I bet it made his day too to know that somebody still remembered him and cared. |

Lonny Frey was the second baseman and Billy Werber the third baseman of the 1939-40 Reds, a colorful team which won two pennants and a World Series in '40. I just picked a wonderful lot of original negatives from the late 30s and early 40s off eBay and included are three nice shots of Frey, so I've been curious about him and it's nice to hear he's doing so well ... |

real nice. getting something like this in return is a whole lot better than picking up a signed baseball from some current star player off ebay. are you going to send a note to werber too? |

That is VERY nice. Something like that personalized to you... I'd love to sit down with some of those older guys and listen to them talk about "the way it was back when..." |

I have an audio tape of the 1941 All Star Game in Detroit with Ty Tyson doing the play-by-play. This is one of the gems from the Miley collection with Teddy Ballgame blasting one off the top tier of Tiger Stadium to win the game. Linus Frey was on the National League squad. A story like this will cross my mind whenever I listen to the game. |

I just sent a card to another 1941 All-Star, Sid Hudson. He was a second year player in 1941 for the Washington Senators. Apparently, Mr. Hudson is alive and doing quite well in Waco, Texas. The oldest MLB player, Howdy Groskloss also still signs through the mail as well, although I'm not sure if he ever had a card. |

That is truly great! Like above, I simply assumed they were all deceased as well. Will drop him a line this weekend and I'm sure he'll wonder why his mail box is all of a sudden full! It's because of the VBC Forum! |

I think that is awesome. I think that both of them would enjoy that people still think of them and I bet this will bring a grand smile to both their faces. |

I believe, since the death of Al Lopez late last year, the oldest living HOF is Phil Rizzuto, at 86. |

I'll bet when you're a 90s year old former common player, through the mail autograph requests with a nice note or letter brightens your day. My brother in law used to mail autograph requests to actors and actresses, and it was obvious that many of the elderly obscure folk were thrilled that someone remembered them. |

I would like the adresses of former players who sign while riding lawn mowers, doing the Charleston or, preferably, both simultaniously. |

I'm not particular, just as long as it isn't a push lawn mower being pushed. And certainly not one of those motorless kinds. |

Pushing a lawnmower one handed while wearing sandals. I heard even Houdini wouldn't attempt that. |

Eldon Auker! I'd liker to recommend his book, Sleeper Cars and Flannel Uniforms, which tells the story (among other things) of how Ted Williams started his feud with the Boston press (1939). I heard Eldon on the radio about two years ago talking about his book and he sounded like he was about 60 years old. He's quite a guy! |
