Default USA Today Article on Buffalo Plane Crash & Baseball Cards
Found this article on the front cover of this weekend's USA Today while shopping with my family tonight. Of the 50 casualties, the lone ground victim was an avid baseball card and memorabilia collector. Excellent read!

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/2011-...ne-crash_n.htm

Enjoy,

James

How often do we get to read a journalists work these days and want to read it again, because it is so well written.

A job well done.
