Sweet card... has a vintage shot of the Oakland Coliseum, a colorful design, and the player on the card isn't too shabby either. Love the quote too!
A somewhat forgotten player, unfortunately.
He was one of those guys I never actually saw pitch... but as an A's fan, I've heard countless stories. He won't be forgotten by me, until I'm old and start losing my memory ;-)
