What a great story and so well written. Really nice to hear about simpler times.

Thanks for the story link.

I am fond of "Puddin' Head" Jones because he is an honorary member of my WABORN (Washington-born) collection. The 1951 Bowman cards had Jones' bio printed on the back of Bobby Brown's card (Brown was born in Seattle) Brown's info, of course, was printed on the back of Jones' card. So because the back of "Puddin' Head" Jones's card says "Born: Seattle Wash." he is in the WABORN collection.
