I acquired another 1972 Topps Carlton Fisk Rookie Card, so I donated $50 to The Cancer Support Center for him to sign it. I certainly think it was well worth it. Thanks again, Carlton!

Pete Rose Jr. and his father have a combined 4,258 MLB hits, with Pete Rose Sr. accounting for 4,256 of them, but it's still pretty awesome that they both made it to the Majors and played for the Reds. Hopefully Pete Rose will soon be enshrined in Cooperstown, even though he's no longer around to see it, but I imagine it would still mean a lot to his son. Thanks, Pete!
