Happy Birthday Dave!
Dave's story is awesome! Glad I got a chance to see him pitch when he played with the Giants. A few years ago a fellow collector taught me something about Dravecky's signatures. He stacked his signature after his surgery. So your Padres card was signed with his left hand, and your Giants was signed with his right.
ReplyDeleteThat's super interesting. Had no idea!
DeleteI read his first book probably a dozen times as a kid.
