It's a sad day for Wisconsin sports fans. Andy remained very popular there many years after he retired. I must admit that I, too, am surprised at how good his numbers were earlier in his career. I knew what he did as a Brave, but the 30 home run seasons are a revelation.
RIP Andy. Thank you for helping the Braves bring home Milwaukee's only World Series win.

Met Pafko at a mall signing in Galesburg Illinois in the early 90's. A real gentleman in my opinion. Ended up getting a signed picture and he also signed the ticket for the autograph line.

One of the great photos in baseball history. Pafko at the Wall. I agree also a great book. However the book Miracle Ball about the search for the shot heard round the world is one of my favorite baseball books just awesome. Solves the mystery of what happened to the ball.

A real gentleman! I got his autograph back in the late '80's when I used to set up @ Walter Hall's shows in NE --all dealers got a free one!
Here are a few of my other Pafko cards along w/ the auto.
