    I had the chance to talk with a gentleman who played college baseball for Erskine. He is the grandfather of a girl on my daughters basketball team. It was cool to listen to the stories he had shared and the respect he has for Mr. Erskine even after all of these years. I personally have met him a few times at games in Indianapolis and he is a very pleasant man. I was unsure, if you knew or not that he has wriiten a few very good baseball books. He personally autographed one of them for me. I then ended up buying another to read. I know that you are into the history of the game and just thought I would share with you as I thought you would like his books.

    I do know of one book Mr. Erskine wrote called "What I Learned From Jackie Robinson" but I was unaware of the second book. I have not read either one of them but it will go on my wishlist for my Nook. I also remember seeing where Mr. Erskine coached at Anderson College for a while. That must be were your acquaintance played ball.

    Thanks for sharing your story, I always like listening to the older players talk, I find it very interesting. I will definitely look in to Mr. Erskine's books.

    Thanks, I've always liked the Heritage cards. Plus getting a good closer like Perez to sign his card was awesome (even though the one time I saw him play he recorded one of those saves against my Reds).

    Not TTM or IP but I stopped at Wal-mart today and bought a pack of Bowman and pulled this Tim Beckham certified auto.
