For reasons forgotten now, I wrote a letter to Roger Craig, manager of the San Diego Padres at the time. This is what he sent back to me:
Munson, Kingman, Seaver, Kranepool, Roy White, and 3 NY Giants - autographs from various appearances these guys made at car dealerships, store openings, etc:
A Tommy Lasorda business card...this is pretty cool but I can't remember who gave it to me:
A business card from Mario Andretti's personal manager. It folds open to reveal the contact information:
I haven't seen one in many years, but deaf & retarded people in need used to wander the subway systems of NYC and hand these out to folks in hopes of getting a hand out. I always thought sign language was beautiful, not to mention nice & quiet, but I'm glad I never had to use it:

I remeber some of those pics being on your wall in your bedroom when we were kids, esp. the Dave Kingman for some reason.
Re: the sign language card, there's a couple of deaf guys on
14th St. still handing em out.
I have the same Thurman Munson autograph from an appearance he did at the Nanuet Mall--maybe you were there, too? He was my favorite baseball player.

Maybe Danny...you're probably right. I have absolutely no recollection of where I got. Thats most likely it.
