Now we move to more thank yous ranging from the 2011 season to current...
Thanks to our most faithful reader Big Don,who helped us immensely on his road trip last season and knocked out about all the players that you could think of for the Pirates AAA Indianapolis and AA Altoona clubs as well as most of the work on the Indians AA Akron team.
Don also filled in four players from a few years back in sets that I thought were done for in Will Inman,Aaron Poreda (Now in the Pirates org),John Bowker and the elusive Luis Perdomo.
Don also added numerous programs,an Akron baseball and an Aeros necktie,which will be a staple of my work meetings from now on....
Thanks for the help and friendship,Don!
Thanks to Mike Oravec for his signed cards of the late Bruce Del Canton,Sixto Lezcano,Boots Day,Max Alvis,Al Rosen (YES!) and Jackie Brown,who always makes me think of the Richard Pryor movie the Toy.
Mike has also been instrumental in helping me complete the 1976 Topps set and added a huge chunk of my holy grail-the 1971 Topps set...
Thanks for all your help,Mike.
Tom O'brien has been noted in the past as a huge help and on this list,Tom added former big leaguers Steve Foulcault and Butch Hobson from Indy ball.
Thanks again,Tom.
The "Superfan"Dave Sloan has already knocked out the sets for the 2011 versions of Aberdeen and Tri-City for me as well trading a large number of cards with me as well.
Too many good cards to mention,but Ryan Zimmerman of the Nationals stands out to me since I missed him in Hagerstown.
Thanks to the caped one....
This catches me up,so now to put these away and start more prep work for the upcoming season!!!
