john/z28jd Wow,just read that Johnny Blanchard died, I actually did get to meet him about a year and a half ago at a local card show and got an autographed ball. Went with my dad who grew up watching Blanchard play,and they had a nice little conversation. Mr Blanchard really took his time with the autograph he gave me and signed it "To John, Johnny Blanchard, 1961-62 world champions". I mentioned it up above,I dont display much and I really dont collect autographs,so if I was Dick Groat,I'd go see a doctor for a checkup immediately. I have 3 different players autos on my desk and they say bad things happen in threes,and hes the other autograph I have besides Blanchard and Kell.
