Great story! Thanks for sharing it. This is part of the reason I hope baseball will always remain "America's pasttime." This gentleman holds a piece of history. More importantly, the game has been interwoven into his whole life and is a source of joy and inspiration. I wish more of the younger generations embraced the game like this gentleman has. Thanks again for sharing your experiences and collection!
