Billy Ripken

Here's an amazing return from Billy Ripken, who signed his famous 1989 Fleer card, although this is the version with the black box, because I didn't want to send the "FF" error card through the mail.  The brother of Cal Ripken, Jr., Billy played in twelve MLB seasons for four teams, finishing with a career .247 batting average.  Thanks, Billy!
