Never knew Lemon helped, but he lived (and died) in West Palm Beach when he actually retired.
It also has a great Phil Niekro gallery and a painfully young set of Greg Maddux images. Stuff like this is why I love Merkle's insights with every new batch that sees the light of day. Makes me wonder if, one day just for the hell of it, Topps will dump about 1,000 on us at one time.

Yeah, that Bob Friend shot is one of Topps's best Mets photos ever, IMHO. Shame it was never a card.
