I posted just a few days ago about the photo I bought autographed by Thomson and Ralph Branca, the pitcher on the mound when Thomson hit his famous home run.
Mr. Thomson was a very generous signer through the mail. I received several autographs from him, including a 1958 Topps, 1949 and 1951 Bowmans, a 2008 Goudey, and a 1955 Sport Magazine.
My son recently sent off a couple of cards to Mr. Thomson and sadly it seems he was too late. He had the cards sitting around for months and finally one day I set them in front of him with a pen and paper and told him to write.
It's sad to see these players from the golden age of baseball passing away.
