Happy Birthday - Luis Aparicio

Apparently you'll get 2 posts today because I didn't check my calendar for birthdays before I did the last post.

Luis was born in 1934 making him 87 today.

MLB Debut - April 17th, 1956 (White Sox)

Years Active -

• 1956-1962 (White Sox)
• 1963-1967 (Orioles)
• 1968-1970 (White Sox)
• 1971-1973 (Red Sox)

My 2 oldest - 1958 & 1959 - Chicago White Sox

Baltimore Orioles

Boston Red Sox

I just realized that if I pick up the 1964 Topps that I will have the complete run from 1960-1974. I still need to pick up his 50's cards as well.

Cards listed on TCDB - 2206

Cards I have - 114 (1 not on TCDB)
