Cepeda (b. 1937) played in the majors from 1958 to 1974 for the Giants, Cardinals, Braves, A's, Red Sox and Royals. He had 2,351 hits, 379 home runs and a .297 batting average. He was an 11-time All Star (1959 to 1962, when players could be chosen twice a year, 1963, 1964 and 1967). He was the NL Rookie of the Year in 1958 and the NL MVP in 1967. He won the World Series in 1967 with the Cardinals. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1999, when he was selected via the Veterans Committee.
I mailed to Cepeda on October 8 and got the card back on October 24, for a 16-day TAT.
