I quit watching back when a Dodge was no longer a Dodge or a Chevy a Chevy.
My sports refuge was baseball, but it's become so pussified now that I've lost interest, and I was a BIG fan. All the new rules the MLB Poofters' Association have leveraged changed the game into something I don't even recognize. ASSCAR has done the same and isn't a shadow of it's glory days.
Baseball from the 5th game of the 1956 World Series, signed by the Yankees, given to my pop at the game to give to me. Notice the pitcher's autograph...yep...it was a game ball from the historic game.
That is a piece of baseball history right there. Have you had it appraised? Its value is none of my business, I'm just curious if you've had it looked at. Not something you see every day.
It was handed to me by Ty Cobb in my dad's office. Pop did real estate contracts for Cobb back then, when Cobb lived at Lake Tahoe. He gave Pop and the senior partner tickets to that game. Dad witnessed baseball history. I didn't realize who Cobb was back then, nor the significance of that ball. Reno in the 1950's and early 1960's was a real interesting town...Biggest Little City.
I sure prefer hockey to baseball now, and I was once a big racing fan in my late teens, through my twenties. I cobbled together a FAST TR3 that never held together very long. I couldn't afford a steel crankshaft for it.
Even hockey is becoming tamer, but the players are supreme athletes and tough as nails.
BTW: that's Don Larsen's autograph below Hank Bauer's under the lable.
