Much respect

I was surprised to see this one so quickly in the mail today when I made my daily trip to the "bill box." I was more than happy to see my two set cards signed boldly in blue.

As I emptied the envelope, I realized there were a couple of additional photos. Tracy Pratt, tough guy of the 1960s and '70s, added a photo of himself in a Sabres uniform as well as a photo of his Hall of Fame father, Babe Pratt.

As I have said before, the old timers have a completely different respect for their fans than today's players.

On a side note, of the 200 requests I have sent to former players this season, I've received 115 back.
