Jeff MohlerI enjoyed the interview too. It brought back a lot of memories.
As a teenager in the early 1980's I would send out requests for autographs to the living hall of famers. I distinctly remember receiving FREE yellow HOF plaque cards signed by Joe Sewell, Stanley Coveleskie, Edd Roush and many others. I sold them all about 13 years ago never realizing that I would have a son someday. He served to revive my interest in baseball! Boy do I wish I had those autographs back!
One interesting aside. Joe Sewell sent a handwritten note along with his card saying "Thanks for remembering me". I wonder now how many requests some of these older players received?
I sure wish I had thought to send along some cards rather than just receiving the plaque postcard!
