With the sudden passing of John F. Nash and his wife last week, I was saddened because another one of people that I have gotten a TTM autograph from has passed one. While I didn't know John personally, it still made me sad to think that a person who took a moment of their day to sign something for me is longer with us.

I have a few different TTM signatures where the person is no longer with us:

John F. Nash - Nobel Peace winner
Stan Musial - MLB
Virgil Trucks - MLB
Lynn Chandnois - NFL
Casey Kasem - Voice Actor

There maybe more, but these are the ones I recall off hand.

How does this make you all feel? Are you excited because you were able to get them before they passed away?

Mule Miles-actually exchanged several letters with him about his time in the Negro leagues.

I would be blown away if someone selects the second option

The sad part is.... there are a lot of people who would pick that option, so not entirely your fault! haha!

I voted the first one. When I found out about Virgil Trucks, I was extremely sad. He was one of my favorite players, and he even wrote me a personalized letter.

Also anyone who selects the second option should be banned.

I'd include Chuck Bednarik and Steve Sabol for NFL
