Don Young (updated 2/21)




This is a new update for Don Young. Actually it is my third autographed photo of him but this one fits my requirements best. It's one of the spring training poses so that means I now have the entire starting eight from the same photo shoot. That adds a nice touch of consistency.

For the longest time Don Young was persona no-gratis for the 1969 Cubs. I remember reading a book a while back that had biographies and updates on all the team members and Young was nowhere to be found. The author wrote a plea for anyone who had information on his whereabouts and even, get this, published his social security number. You can tell how long ago that happened.

In recent years Young has stepped easily into the autograph signing spotlight. He seems to realize it has some value for him as well as collectors.
