Any way to get into the HOF is ok with me. Pretty nice card and thanks for sharing with the public.

A number of years ago, I was there and discovered a mistake, wrote them about it and sure enough, they corrected it by the time I went there again.

Also received a nice letter on HOF letterhead regarding the correction to be made. That's as close as I will get to being noted in Cooperstown.

In case you were wondering, they had a picture of Art Shamsky in a Mets cap and honored him for homering in 4 consecutive at bats and had the bat on display. They also had him playing for the Mets when he hit the homers.

He was actually with the Reds at the time and they made the change and were very gracious about it.
