Baseball HOFer Earl "Rock" Averill autographed postcard

This autographed postcard is one of the first HOFer autographs that I acquired in the late 1970s.

In those days, before athlete autographs became a "business", I was able to write players (include 3X5s and an SASE) and MOST would respond to autograph requests.

Averill played 13 seasons in centerfield-- most for the Cleveland Indians. He had a career .318 batting average.
