I've collected autographs from 1973-1985. My dad still has the full collections from those years.
My favorite cards were 1975 George Brett and Robin Yount. 
Favorite team was the Dodgers. Dusty Baker was my favorite Dodger.
My favorite card of mine is my rookie Topps card!"
Thanks! His 1995 Topps is his rookie card.
Jeff Cirillo was one of the few bright spots during the very dark days in Milwaukee. I appreciated everything he brought to the club and he seemed like a geniunely nice guy.
ReplyDeleteMy college roommate and I actually named a pet snake after him. Cirillo sounded like a fine name for a snake.
The one card that sticks out in my mind of Jeff, that I thought would be his favorite is one of him blowing a huge bubble on the front of the card. 1997 Pinnacle after doing some checking around.
