Nice collection. It's been a long time now but a while ago I was making a strong effort to get as many Angels Managers, Coaches, and front office staff as possible. It was a fun effort.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made an effort, per se, these just happened.
DeleteImpressive collection! I got to meet current manager Terry Francona back when he was managing in Boston. I have a picture of me with him plus a couple autographs!
ReplyDeleteNice. I got an auto on his 88 Topps when he played for the Reds for a hot minute.
DeleteFantastic collection! I wish I would have purchased an autograph of Sparky before he passed away. He was one of those managers that stands out from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteHow can ya not love a guy named Sparky?
