I just saw that Roger Powell Jr. was hired yesterday as head coach of Valparaiso, where he was an assistant for years! Two favorite signed photos from our Illini hero!

Super cool!!!

Thanks Mike! I had a collector send me 4 index cards that Grace had signed, and told me make customs, he wanted 2, I could keep the other 2, so that is what I ended up with, I was happy with how they came out!

I like HR leader cards and am always looking to add more. 1961 is the first year Topps included league leaders cards in the sets.

And here's the AL HR leaders from 1961 Topps. It's interesting that in 1960 Mantle and Maris hit 40 and 39 and that was enough to have the most in the league. I hadn't realized there was quite a huge jump to what they hit in 1961 - 61 and 54.

I had not realized that either, @LarryG , that WAS a large jump from the previous year....I wonder if the Mick had stayed healthy that year if he would have pushed past 61?
