I grew up in the D.C. area and was 7 when the Senators moved. Frank Howard and Clemente were my first baseball heroes. I got to meet Hondo a few times in the 1990s in Florida (where I now live) when he was coaching for various teams -- he's a truly nice guy who enjoyed talking about baseball and the Senators. Howard stuff is a lot more reasonably priced than the other guys, although for some reason his 1971 Kellogg's card is very scarce.
