Ah, Pops. A great player and an even better man. God rest his soul.

You have an exceptionally nice set. I love the '75, myself. I like down-the-bat cards, especially from guys who really know how to do damage with the bat.

Two things to mention: the only man I ever saw try to call time out (even making the "T" gesture with his hands) when he knew he was about to slide into second too late. A staple of blooper films for years. He always played hard but he always seemed to remember that it was, in the end, a game.

Secondly, I know he was a Buc through and through, but he accompanied Mr. Tanner to Atlanta and stayed in the organization after Chuck was fired as an instructor at several levels. Had a major influence on several 90's era Braves. David Justice always spoke highly of him and it was Willie who walked up to the very young Chipper Jones, handed him a bat much heavier than any he had ever used. said "Here...use this." then turned and walked off without another word.

Nice job, and cards BPorter26. Willie sure let his facial hair go during the 70s...

Great job on this set Bobby. Pops' cards are always tough.

Raised just 100 miles from Pittsburgh, I always loved the Pirates in the 70's & 80's. Pops was the heart & soul of the 'We are family' team of 1979. I have an team autographed ball of that 1979 team, good times back then. Congratulations on your set. He was a class act!!
