Denis Menke

Who: Third Baseman Denis Menke

Team: Cincinnati Reds

Card: 1973 Topps

Acquired: TTM 2/2 5/4/2009 (7 days)

Comments: This is the second of two cards that Mr. Menke kindly signed for me. I really, really like the '73 Topps set, and this card is an extra special one. The bokeh of the background is crazy, giving the photo a very artistic, almost dreamy look. With Denis pictured in the quissential batter's follow through, it's really a nice moment in time captured here.

This may also be the smallest signature on any card in my collection.
