Any time I can get a Penguins autograph for a buck plus shipping, I jump at the chance, especially if it is of a retired player. I picked up this great Rick Kehoe autograph from 2010-11 Luxury Suite, numbered 154/199 for just a buck plus shipping.
Kehoe was drafted in the second round (22nd overall) of the 1971 draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs and was traded to Pittsburgh in 1974. Kehoe was notably a very clean player, notching only 120 penalty minutes in a 14-year career and won the Lady Byng Trophy (sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct) in 1981. That year proved to also be his most productive offensively, as he scored 55 goals and 33 assists. Kehoe retired in 1985 and still remains the third-leading scorer in Penguins history, behind Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr. He never won the cup as a player, but finally got his name etched on Lord Stanley's Hardware in 1991 and 1992 as an assistant coach with the team.
VERY VERY cool card. His name might have been Kehoe, but that 'stache makes him a pimp!
