Bobby Richardson

This is one of my favorites so far!  Bobby Richardson made the all-star team eight times in his twelve years as the Yankee Second Baseman.  He won three World Series, was the World Series MVP in a year the Yankees lost the World Series, and earned five Gold Gloves.  He's also well-known as the man who led Mickey Mantle to Christ before his death.  I wrote Richardson a nice letter and asked if he could sign both of the cards I sent him and add a favorite verse, which he did.  He also sent along a tract card with what I believe is a facsimile signature, but he personalized it to me and underlined a verse on the back.  These have become treasured parts of my collection!  Thanks, Bobby!
