Ernie Broglio and Phil Cavarretta

Monday I received a couple of my recent requests back. Ernie Broglio signed his 1959 and 1960 Topps.

And Phil Cavarretta signed his 1954 Topps.

The Twins finally signed Mauer to a nice long contract. Apparently my boycott worked. I didn't want to have to play hardball, but it got the job done.

I've started reading the new Willie Mays biography by James Hirsch. I'm about 210 pages in (out of about 550). So far it's pretty interesting. More factual than any insight into Willie's personality.
