1984 Topps 2

#358 Bob Dernier

I got this card signed at the Willie Wilson Classic. After the game, I was over by the locker rooms and Bob was sitting outside with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. He just moved the cigarette to the beer hand and signed my cards. He seemed like a nice fella.

I had been wondering why Dernier was at the game. Most of the players seemed to have played with Willie Wilson at some point. After checking his stats page, I see that Dernier is from Kansas City. So, that explains it.

This is the second instance where Baseball Almanac has the same card signed as I do.
