What a kind gesture to still be signing cards. He would have signed this on or about the weekend his son was accepting the Buck O'Neil award on his behalf in Cooperstown. Incredibly, Carl is not the oldest player to sign TTM for me this year. Bobby Shantz is the last living Philadelphia Athletic, and will be 98 in September.

What a beautiful signature for 96 yo. My grandma got real shaky with her cursive in her 90s and it was hard to read. he still has good flow and slant!
