focused on another great moment in baseball history the other night. as usual, it involved a pitcher and a batter. however, this was no ordinary batter. this is eddie gaedel (uniform no. 1/8) and the rookie of the only man to pitch to him bob cain. fittingly enough, both cards arrived today!
another thing I liked about this story is that bob cain was the only person in mlb to attend gaedel's funeral, who suffered a terrible death/tragedy. side note: eddie gaedel is one of the few autographs that actually meet or exceed babe ruth's! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Gaedel

STOKED!
I added 3 1956 PSA 7s to my 56 HOF set just this week (2 below and the Jackie 7 in an earlier post)! I'm happy if I can do that in a month or two. Febuary and March seem to have been good months for me! Also picked up 72 Clemente PSA 8. That may conclude my spending for the month though, not even a week in. Bitter sweet.

63 Fleer Clemente
Well, this one has a bit of a story behind it... When I turned 30 six years ago my older sister surprised me with this card.... She doesn't believe in paying big $ on a little piece of cardboard but I was really into collecting (still am but keeping things in perspective) and so she got into a bidding war--think she paid around $100--and gave me a large box with ribbon etc that ended up having a raw 63 Clemente she bought on eBay.... I was stoked!
(She did always have a physical attraction to Roberto so I think that helped her make an exception....) Unfortunately, a couple years later it came back trimmed so I sold it... This card kinda had a black mark since the first one was altered... So recently, I saw this one decently priced and picked it up to replace the original.. Also my b-day is coming up in a week so the timing couldn't be better....
