O/T Andy Pafko Dies
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/10/sp...tml?ref=sports
They do mention his famed baseball card at the bottom, but fail to mention that the card was so valuable because it was #1 in the set. I had never realized he was such a good player - five-time All-Star is pretty impressive.

It's a sad day for Wisconsin sports fans. Andy remained very popular there many years after he retired. I must admit that I, too, am surprised at how good his numbers were earlier in his career. I knew what he did as a Brave, but the 30 home run seasons are a revelation.
RIP Andy. Thank you for helping the Braves bring home Milwaukee's only World Series win.

Met Pafko at a mall signing in Galesburg Illinois in the early 90's. A real gentleman in my opinion. Ended up getting a signed picture and he also signed the ticket for the autograph line.
