NOTES:

I tracked down Barrett and was lucky enough to get his autograph on his AAF card, but because of the date it must have gotten lost in the shuffle of the new year. Although not an action shot of Barrett, it’s still a really nice card, and the color really stands out on it, showcasing his lanky frame.
