This Day in Sports

 On this day 50 years ago Jean Beliveau scored his 500th goal, just the fourth player in NHL history to reach the milestone.  Gentleman Jean won 17 Stanley Cup Championships, 10 as a player and an additional 7 as an executive.


Jean had one of the all-time great signatures. As classy as he was. This card is never leaving my collection.

    Nice autograph! I've always enjoyed those late 90's Epic Signature sets.

    I've always felt that in general hockey players have nicer signatures than baseball players.

    I think his 17 overall championships is still #1. The Celtics of hockey? Bill Russell+?
