Of the death of Tom Veryzer, shortstop for Tigers, Indians and Cubs. Being a Tigers fan I still remember he was the first Tiger card I pulled from packs of 77 Topps. 61 years old, too young!!

    Tough stint between Eddie Brinkman and Alan Trammell.

    Sad to face the fact that guys in their 60's (and 50's) are departing. image

    Good memory, Matt! 54 ABs in '82, batted .333.

    RIP.


    Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.

    As a child, I got his auto on my glove during spring training, at Al Lang Stadium. My mom would pull me out of school every so often and take me to spring training games. Best mom ever haha. Good times!
