That's one that is on my list. A little bit further down, though, as I've got a few others I'm after first.

So far the only problem with the boards here is that there's so much good stuff to keep track of, I'm always thinking I'm missing something.

As I was reading the back of that card, I thought it was a poor choice of words to call him a "deadly" passer, since I knew he died quite young - then it even mentions his death on the card! Seems like they almost went out of their way to use "deadly."

A big part of why I collect the Red Sox team sets is to learn more about the history of the team and players, especially the lesser knowns such as Agganis, Jackie Jensen, Mel Parnell, etc. I also take whatever doubles (triples, etc.) and give them to my two boys, nephews and niece on their birthdays with a letter about the players and the teams they were on. It's been fun so far and maybe they'll take up the hobby themselves.

I already ventured out into that realm for a Tris Speaker, perhaps my favorite card in my collection.
