Love the Flyhawks! I remember those little cartoons on the backs of baseball cards ... once had Jim Lemon being either traded or released, and him sitting on a suitcase, crying. Maybe he was released. Wonderful story about Ray Fosse, I always admired him as a player and broadcaster. If I remember, he bore no ill will at Pete Rose. And he won two World Series rings. Take care.
Now that's pretty cool. I think you were the one who told me about Jim Lemon on the suitcase for a column I wrote on baseball cards for the State Press.

Thanks, Bob. For a while the cartoons on the back of the cards were drawn by a kid who worked for my high school newspaper
