R.I.P. Mike Sadek

One of my childhood "guys" has passed away, as of yesterday: late 70s/early 80s San Francisco Giants catcher Mike Sadek. Great photos and obituary here

I recounted my journey with Mike Sadek's baseball cards both here and here, including how I came to get autographed versions of most of his cards. 

Best wishes and condolences to his family and friends.

  4. Saw this on ESPN earlier and recognized the name. Forgot about him signing all of those cards for you. Great way to remember him though. Heart goes out to his family.
