Cool 1965/1966 Eddie Fisher Baseball Camp Card
 
Another cool piece I found on one of my nightly deep dives.
1965/1966 Eddie Fisher Baseball camp card. Postcard sized, I assume Eddie himself edited the 1965 to 1966 because he was traded in 1965 (probably cancelling the camp, or simply having extras he re-dated) then traded back in 1966 to the sox. Which also didn't last long before he was sent to the orioles.
He's still alive today.
Hope you all enjoy, possibly will be available in the future.

Thank you, and so true. I wonder if any forum members might've gone to the camp.

In the mid 60's my dad attended a "Babe Ruth" league camp day hosted by Jerry Staley...a pitcher from the 50's who was a local to the PNW and was giving back. He talks about that day all the time, it was a big deal to him.

That is awesome, great memory.
