Thanks, Al.

Yeah, I get on my high horse sometimes. Got bucked off pretty bad last Friday. My dear mother-in-law died. She was going down fast, but at 88, well, it doesn't matter, our family will miss her terribly. She raised a wonderful daughter and future wife for me.

Gotta go be with family.

Best regards, to all youse guys. ---Brian Powell

Sorry for your loss Brian.

Especially hard on a woman when she looses her mom. Time for the family to circle the wagons in support

1979 Topps Paul Molitor. That is all.

[Bigdaddy]

Rose or Munson, it should be put to a vote.

56 clemente...55 aaron...topps not bowman...sorry but i hate the tv theme!!!!

definitely munson!!!!!! In fact most of his cards through 74 are better!!!!

You can add the babe to my list too...depending on what u consider his rookie...either works for me!!!!

The Munson second year card immediately popped into my head. What a fantastic action shot of the Yankee Captain! I certainly wasn't a fan of the Bronx Bombers growing up, but I liked Thurman Munson a lot. And, that picture is exactly how I remember Munson, fearless behind the late. A part of me wishes the trophy wasn't included, as it obscures part of the photo. But , another part of me says (apparently with a New York accent), "fuhgeddaboudit it, kid. You don't mess with perfection!"

Put me down, also, for the 1979 Topps Paul Molitor. The card itself is a gem, The Ignitor wearing the classic 70s pinstripe uniform, with Tom Meindel's ingenious Brewers logo front and center on the helmet.
