eBay. The last couple months there seem to be more of them.

Thank you to Cliff Bowman on this board for this one. I've never seen it or knew it existed.

After Mr Brock passed away the other day, I actually thought of this thread. From all indications, he was a better man than he was a baseball player.... And that's saying something!

I was saddened to hear of Mr. Brock's passing as well.

When I was a teenager, my first job was as a caddy at a local country club. In the caddy shack area (where you wait to be assigned) they had a RC Cola machine and at the end of most days, I would take home the empty cans that were left behind.

For years, I just had these cans in a box and at one point 20 plus years ago, I decided to get them signed if I knew I'd be meeting a player (banquet, etc.).

Fortunately Mr. Brock made an appearance at a local hospital 7-8 years ago (as a speaker) & I was fortunate to secure his signature on my RC Cola can:



RIP Lou

Nice signed RC Cola can.
