The Story of the Autograph
Don Money is a former third baseman and infielder in the major leagues. He played from 1968 to 1983 with the Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers.
Money was born and raised in the DC Metro area in Maryland. He was originally signed as an amateur free agent by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1965 out of high school. Two years later, while still in the minors, the Pirates traded him to the Phillies in a deal that brought the Pirates Jim Bunning. He made his first major league appearance the next season on April 10, 1968.
He played a few years for the Phillies until it was time to make room for Mike Schmidt. The Phillies traded him to the Brewers after the 1972 season. It was in Milwaukee where Money would break out. He was a four-time All-star between the years of 1974 and 1978 and he put up some of his best season for the Brewers.
After playing in the majors he moved on to play a season in Japan in 1984. He played for the Kintetsu Buffaloes. But he only lasted there a month. The Buffaloes just were a team like the Yomiuri Giants like he had seen and he felt they didn’t live up to their deal. He later coached and managed in the minor leagues.
The Score on Don Money – 6.5
Don has pretty solid signature. I think the marker he used is a bit thin. That’s worked OK on these but I think that a bit thicker marker would have helped these to stand out a bit. One thing that looks a bit funny on these is that the purple on the card designs makes the blue of the Brewers colors look a little different and not go with the marker as well.
Thanks Mr. Money! I’m giving this return a 6.5.
