Lou Whitaker uses a hyphen to add in his nickname
I was just surfing around one of my new favorite sites - Gem Mint Ten - a site dedicated to finding old baseball cards and making fun.
Great stuff.
Anywyay, I love this Lou Whitaker card they found, not because of the card but because of his autograph.
He writes Sweet-lou, with a hyphen.
Gotta love that.
Secondly, he doesn't capitalize lou.
(Who are we to make fun: baseball-reference says he made $19.7 million in his playing career.)
I'm going to get some ice cream from the Shea Stadium press room.
