I'm all for keeping this thread going! How about some mound grooming? (Boy, that sounds bad when I read it out loud!)

Ok, I'll keep the thread alive!
A few photos from the story. Remember how Bruce Kimm was the Bird's personal catcher that year? (By the way, if anyone would like a digital copy of any of the photos here or from the story, just give me a shout. Here's Kimm at glorious Tiger Stadium. One of the last years with the green seats!   You might be able to barely make out the list of names over his right shoulder. On top it says "Hiller bald" I assume the other column was "Hiller hair". Looks to be a serious division of opinion on the topic....

Scott, you should never think you wasted one second on making your gorgeous fantasy 1976 Topps Mark Fidrych. That card is a honey. Man, he looks eight feet tall on the mound! Like a great big ....
 Maybe Mark didn't have the career his fans hoped he would, but at least he had a Giant Condor rookie season that left a lifetime of cherished memories. Whenever people think of him or see his picture Mark still puts a smile on their faces. Not many one-year wonders can say that. Seriously, I wish I could buy a copy of your beautiful card. Nice tribute to a great flake and a great pitcher for a while. Many thanks for sharing, bro. --Brian Powell Last edited by brian1961; 10-23-2014 at 02:10 PM.

Scott,
Very good thread about one great person, who happened to play ball. I was fortunate enough to go to one of his games in 1976. It was magic. I have my Fidrych rookie card and his book of Go Bird Go. Always a good read. Bill Attachment 166004
