Very cool!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! He's really been around.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff.
ReplyDeleteVery cool of Mr. Easler to respond to your questions. I'm kind of surprised that he doesn't have a Topps Archives Fan Favorite signature. I'd definitely add a copy to my collection.
ReplyDeleteHe was an absolute Met killer. .929 lifetime OPS against us in 72 games.
ReplyDeleteHe drew that Peanuts cartoon? Nice!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. When he was the hitting coach of the Red Sox, he'd award a Hit Man jacket to the batter that had the best night each game. Mo Vaughn won quite a bit if I recall, and was nicknamed the Hit Dog in tribute to Easler.
