Sports Cards Ate My Brain

I'm a little late with this but Happy Birthday to Bobby Cox. I met him once in the bookstore I worked in and helped him find a children's book for a gift. He had on his Braves jacket but I would have recognized him anyway. I think it was around 1990.

Picking up where we left off from "It's All About George" here is page 2 of my George Brett card album.
