It is still one of my most prized possesions.<BR/><BR/>When I was 11-13,the local youth softball/baseball league would have Reds players come and visit once a year to talk to us and we could get autographs. My first year the players were Tim Birtsas and Norm Charlton. I happened to have both their Score baseball cards and had them signed. As it turned out the Reds ended up sweeping the A's in the WS that year and Charlton became famous as one the "Nasty Boys".thistlewarriorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12933316654294968024noreply@blogger.com
