it's 6 now. Bobby Morgan died, but the news apparently wasn't widely spread.

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.
