My wife got me an incredible Father's Day gift.
While there are a lot of rare autographs on here, there is one in particular that mattered for my collection.
Pidge Browne, pronounced "Brownie", has been the #2 name on my want list for at least a decade. He was not on the team represented here, but must have been playing against them while with the Houston Buffaloes. Browne is known among autograph collectors as an incredibly tough non-signer. He is the only person to ever play for both the Houston minor league team and the major league team. I have only ever seen a handful of autographs available and was never willing to pay what it is worth.
I can't believe I am getting to cross his name off of my needs list. He is autograph number 811 in my quest to obtain all Houston Astros/Colt .45s autographs. I am down to 86 needs.
Here is my Top 5 Wants now that Pidge has been removed from the 2nd spot:
1. Jay Dahl (Probably will never get this one, but I can dream)
2. Ron Willis
3. Aurelio Monteagudo
4. Mike Marshall (The only living person on this list, but wants $300 to sign anything. Nope.)
5. George Brunet
