Will Clark - Mississippi State Baseball Legend

The first college baseball game that I attended (that I remember) was Super Bulldog weekend in 1985. State set an attendance record that Saturday and I can remember seeing "thunder and lightning" Clark and Rafael Palmeiro. My uncle was on State's football team that year and we were on campus for the Spring game. The card here is a Bob Lemke custom and one of my favorites.

Sport Photo Series Update

Finished up a new group of the Sport Magazine series and I think I will stop here with these. The photography is so striking, these would have fit well with Bowman's 1953 issue.

Ralph Guglielmi - College Football Hall of Fame Quarterback for Notre Dame

The 6-0, 180-pound Guglielimi was a three-year starter for the Irish at quarterback from 1952 through '54. He earned unanimous All-America honors as a senior in '54 after completing 68 of 127 passes for 1,160 yards and six touchdowns -- ranking fourth nationally in passing yards. He finished fourth in voting for the Heisman Trophy as a senior in '54. In his three seasons as a starter, the Irish finished 7-2-1 in '52 (third in final Associated Press poll), 9-0-1 in '53 (second) and 9-1 in '54 (fourth). He remains 10th on the Notre Dame career passing chart based on 209 career completions on 436 attempts (both Notre Dame records at the time) for 3,117 yards (breaking Bertelli's Notre Dame career mark for passing yards) and 18 TDs. He also rushed 187 times for 200 yards and 12 TDs, kicked five PATs, intercepted 10 passes returned for 98 yards and one TD (he led the team in interceptions with five each in '53 and '54), recovered two fumbles and returned two kickoffs for 15 yards. The Columbus, Ohio, product (Grandview High School) remains tied with Rick Mirer for the Notre Dame record for most consecutive games completing a pass with 34, including his last four games in 1951 and all 10 each year in 1952-54. He was honored with the Walter Camp Memorial Trophy by the Washington (D.C.) Touchdown Club as the nation's top back in 1954.

Harper Davis - Mississippi Football Legend

One could fill a book with the accomplishments of Mr. Harper Davis, he is a fine man as well as a football star player and coach. He recently sent me a large envelope filled with newspaper clipping from his playing days I'll have to post.

Sport Magazine Photo Series

The Sport Magazine from the 40's through the 60's had the most incredible photos. I've liked to collect them through the years but unless you cut them out and frame them, they are hard to enjoy. So I've turned a bunch into cards. I have tried using several different designs but the photos are so great that I hate to take away from them. These are simple but I really like them.

My Favorite Custom - Harold Peeples 1941 Ole Miss Rebels Basketball

This is my favorite custom thus far, Harold Peeples, captain of the 1941 Ole Miss Rebels Basketball team. Mr.Peeples was my next door neighbor growing up. He was like a grandfather to me and taught me to play basketball. He shot free throws underhanded and all other shots he took off of his right shoulder. He was a huge Boston Celtics fan and I watched so many games during the 80's in his living room. I rode with him to church every Sunday, a five minute trip, but we would make it there 30 minutes before anyone else would get there. My favorite memory of him though is that he would lead the prayer in church often, and he would pray in King James english.

Johnny Baker Mississippi State Bulldogs Legend! Houston Oilers

My main collecting focus is both Ole Miss and members of the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. Mr. Baker was a standout back at State from 1959-62 and had a 5 year pro career. His autograph was eluding me though, and I am happy to get these back! This one is a stamp though, but still a success.
