I like Tony Olivia - Pedro on the 63 Topps Card, #1 in your heart.
He was really nice to me at an old timers game in 1984 in Indianapolis. This was before the Colts came and they were finding ways to utilize the (then) Hoosier Dome so that the taxpayers didn't start banging fists on the table about the costs. I was a 12 year old kid nuts about baseball history and was in heaven at a game that had Aaron, Mays and a ton of others. I walked out that night with my ball signed by Tony, Brooks Robinson, and Monte Irvin. I did a bunch of research after that and grew an apprciation for him. He was a crazy good hitter and looked to fade out quickly - was he injured? In the if x is in, then y should be in, I use Ross Youngs and Wes Ferrell as X. therefore, be ready for Chris Sabo's inevitable induction.
