I grew up about and hour and a half northwest of Scituate and was a Red Sox fan. 1969 was the first year that I started collecting cards and Foy's card was one of the first that I got. I remember wondering why his hat logo was obscured... at that time I was clueless about all the airbrushing, missing hats, etc that were (are?) a feature of traded or expansion team player cards.majcpwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545014493637886357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175643012720562094.post-25478699819032831662015-09-07T06:01:34.542-07:002015-09-07T06:01:34.542-07:00He's a California boy and Stanford grad, but h...He's a California boy and Stanford grad, but he does live in Scituate, where he's a dentist.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109085007044124766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175643012720562094.post-49775290656836943742015-03-22T16:47:15.187-07:002015-03-22T16:47:15.187-07:00I got that baseball card book about 10 years ago a...I got that baseball card book about 10 years ago at a local used book store.
