About five years ago, I was visiting someone in a convalescent home in Monterey not far from where I live and I casually asked a woman who worked there if they "had any old ballplayers living there." The woman replied, there's a man here they call "Old Reliable ..." I returned with a baseball and he signed it. I heard his family moved him to Arizona a short time later ...

I think he still lives in Arizona - I was a sports reporter in the Verde Valley and went to his house to visit before coming to Dallas 12 years ago. He loved talking baseball and his wife finally made him stop talking! Great guy, and I still have several items he signed.

I think this 1951 Bowman Hi# card of Tommy is his last card of the mainstream issues in the 1950's.

Ten years ago I met Tommy at a BB card show in NJ. After the signing session, Tommy went around to all the dealer tables.
Talking and looking for certain BB related items. He stayed at my table for about half an hour talking baseball. Every vintage
BB card of Yankees player I had on display, Tommy had a story to tell me. He was one of the most enthusiastic story tellers
that I've ever met.
