Another Bobby Doerr

Bobby Doerr's passing last month prompted me to look him up in the trading card database. My pursuit of Red Sox team sets over the years brought a number of his cards into my collection. The TCDB reminded me about a decision I once made regarding Doerr's 1936 Goudey Wide Pen Premiums card. I had decided not to pursue it as part of that year's team set because he was on the San Diego Padres in the card, or so I thought based on my research.

1936 Goudey Wide Pen Premiums Bobby Doerr

I changed my mind! Since he was in the minor leagues working his was up to the majors with Boston it's close enough for me. I got this one on eBay the other day. Notice the misspelling of his last name.
