The Fan That Goes Way Back


When I was a kid, my dog chewed
the corners off my favorite football card.

Of course I still have the card.
This one in particular was always kept on the top of my stack of cards.

So, I guess it was the one most likely to flop into a dog's mouth.
Ruined beyond any value but sentimental.

It's not taking up much space.
That's when I can really indulge in sentiment.
Besides, it's Calvin Hill, so handsome and powerful-looking in 1970.

Unfortunately, that didn't last, either.
Here he is, five years later...
