Rube - What does the rest of the letter say? I thought Upton was alive too until I asked around about 2 weeks ago because Baseball Reference still lists him as alive.
it is with much sadness that i write to tell you my dad died march 24 of this year he moved near me feb 05 when diabeties caused him to lose a couple of toes previous to that he lived in bishop we had a great 3+ years together-he lived in a assisted living facility and we watched all kinds of sports together on tv he walked with a walker as he had a bad stroke that affected his right side in 1995 he was a fighter though and took care of most of his own things he accecepted help with things he couldnt do on his own taking some pride i suppose,
the daughter he always encouraged in her education,would become a physical thearapist & be able to be the one that provide the help thasnk you for your kind words to him about his navy svs and for your svs to our great country he always got a kick out of it when people asked him to sign things,he pleyed ball at a time when when baseball was played for fun-not money may god bless you janice upton edlin
Any chance of this auto being any good? I live in Michigan, and I've had this card for over 30 years, but thats about all I can tell you. I've never paid much attention to the card because A) I don't know who Johnny Lipon is & The double signature of John or Johnny totally ruins the card in my opinion.
We used to call Minnie "Minnie the moocher" because he could be seen around all the bars in Wrigleyville getting drinks bought for him and selling his book. He was a real nice guy and I dont mean to make him sound like a drunk or anything but he always seemed to be there in and around the bars. I believe if my memory is right, he drove a huge caddy with a White Sox hat in the rear window with "Minnie" on his license plates. Minnie is one of the real interesting characters in baseball. I think he used to carry his wallet in his uniform pocket during the games because he didnt trust anyone!
Just thought i would toss that out there!!
Rube nice cards so far. I look forward to seeing how this set progresses.
They were hiding behind hay bales, They were planting in the full moon They had given all they had for something new But the light of day was on them, They could see the thrashers coming And the water shone like diamonds in the dew.
And I was just getting up, hit the road before it's light Trying to catch an hour on the sun When I saw those thrashers rolling by, Looking more than two lanes wide I was feelin' like my day had just begun.
Where the eagle glides ascending There's an ancient river bending Down the timeless gorge of changes Where sleeplessness awaits I searched out my companions, Who were lost in crystal canyons When the aimless blade of science Slashed the pearly gates.
It was then I knew I'd had enough, Burned my credit card for fuel Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand With a one-way ticket to the land of truth And my suitcase in my hand How I lost my friends I still don't understand.
They had the best selection, They were poisoned with protection There was nothing that they needed, Nothing left to find They were lost in rock formations Or became park bench mutations On the sidewalks and in the stations They were waiting, waiting.
So I got bored and left them there, They were just deadweight to me Better down the road without that load Brings back the time when I was eight or nine I was watchin' my mama's T.V., It was that great Grand Canyon rescue episode.
Where the vulture glides descending On an asphalt highway bending Thru libraries and museums, galaxies and stars Down the windy halls of friendship To the rose clipped by the bullwhip The motel of lost companions Waits with heated pool and bar.
But me I'm not stopping there, Got my own row left to hoe Just another line in the field of time When the thrasher comes, I'll be stuck in the sun Like the dinosaurs in shrines But I'll know the time has come To give what's mine

Rube, Yogi told me that he got a 1952 Topps card in the mail from some guy named Randy of WV. He told me he did not that card yet, and it would look good in his museum
PS. I also said that he was paid $50 just to have it put in his museum.

Maybe it made her day a little better knowing that someone wanted her dad's autograph.

They were hiding behind hay bales,
They were planting
in the full moon
They had given all they had
for something new
But the light of day was on them,
They could see the thrashers coming
And the water
shone like diamonds in the dew.
And I was just getting up,
hit the road before it's light
Trying to catch an hour on the sun
When I saw
those thrashers rolling by,
Looking more than two lanes wide
I was feelin'
like my day had just begun.
Where the eagle glides ascending
There's an ancient river bending
Down the timeless gorge of changes
Where sleeplessness awaits
I searched out my companions,
Who were lost in crystal canyons
When the aimless blade of science
Slashed the pearly gates.
It was then I knew I'd had enough,
Burned my credit card for fuel
Headed out to where the pavement
turns to sand
With a one-way ticket
to the land of truth
And my suitcase in my hand
How I lost my friends
I still don't understand.
They had the best selection,
They were poisoned with protection
There was nothing that they needed,
Nothing left to find
They were lost in rock formations
Or became park bench mutations
On the sidewalks
and in the stations
They were waiting, waiting.
So I got bored and left them there,
They were just deadweight to me
Better down the road
without that load
Brings back the time
when I was eight or nine
I was watchin' my mama's T.V.,
It was that great
Grand Canyon rescue episode.
Where the vulture glides descending
On an asphalt highway bending
Thru libraries and museums,
galaxies and stars
Down the windy halls of friendship
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip
The motel of lost companions
Waits with heated pool and bar.
But me I'm not stopping there,
Got my own row left to hoe
Just another line
in the field of time
When the thrasher comes,
I'll be stuck in the sun
Like the dinosaurs in shrines
But I'll know the time has come
To give what's mine
