Larry McCarren was nicknamed "The Rock" for starting 162 straight games for the Packers at center, anchoring their offensive line for 12 very solid years. He made the Pro Bowl twice in that time span. After his retirement, he was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame which is no small feat considering who that franchise has had throughout the years. All that is pretty good for a guy who came into the league as a 12th round draft pick! McCarren has proven to be just as successful after his career, and since 1988 has been the head sportscaster on WFRV in Green Bay. He's also still very involved with the Packers, serving as their color commentator on radio broadcasts.
This is what an autograph SHOULD look like, by the way. What a nice signature. I was wondering about the 1980 Topps because it's not exactly ideal for autographing, but he found the perfect place on the card to sign and it looks great. The 1983 Topps is a card I bought from the good folks at 5th Quarter Sports Cards (http://www.5thqtr.com/). I bought it specifically to get signed and I'm glad I did. It looks great too (and my collection has a dearth of 1983 Topps).
