Mr. Crosetti was nice enough to sign this photo for me (he provided), and it's one of my favorite pieces of Yankee memorabilia that I own. After all, he did play with the Babe, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Berra. Not too shabby.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

Frank Crosetti TTM blast from the past
I had this post up yesterday, but blogger went crazy and someohow it got lost. Anyhow, in the late 1990's, I sent a TTM request to Frank Crosetti, who played 17 seasons with the Yanks during the '30s and '40s. He then coached them for another 20. All in all, "The Crow" was a part of 17 World Series Championship teams - eight as a player and nine more as a coach. That's a lot of rings. Topps, eat your heart out.
