that’s awesome FlJoePa.
Weren’t those books great as a kid? Back when there was still some mystery about your favorite player. You didn’t know every damn thing about ‘em like you do today.
And I remember Bobby too. My best friend was a Cubs fan and Bobby went to the Cubs right when I moved to Chicago.
Not that anyone cares, but last week my 7 year old son went to a girls B Day party. The theme was “Mustaches”. Wife draws a typical Italian Pizza Maker curly stache.
Get that off him. Draw him this - got on google and pulled up Thurman Munson. Showed her the thick handle bar style.
Boy loved it and even some of the older parents got a kick out of it. He wore the Munson (or Dick Tidrow) ‘stache the next day too.
I met Bobby in the dugout at Wrigley one summer. My Dad used to play in the bigs and Joey Amalfitano got me down to meet him. To this day, that was the greatest vacation I’ve ever had.
