RIP Rocky Colavito

Just read that he has passed at age 91

I was just reading about this. Sad news indeed. One of the great sluggers and characters of the game.

For years (decades), he was a really tough autograph to get. I remember his signed Fleer cards from the early 2000s always went for a pretty high price (and a lot higher than most Hall of Famers). And when he did sign TTM, I remember his fee was pretty up there before it became a norm for players to demand more than $5-10. Rest in peace, Rocky.

Paid $55 TTM to get this one signed for my Yankees collection!

I just bought a custom 68 Dodger design signed not all that long ago.
