Default Awesome!

I love these stories! So much fun to hear everyone's interactions with family members and how they revolve around baseball cards. I come from a lineage of Yankees fans, and since my father was one of four boys there was plenty of baseball memorabilia floating around my Grandmother's house.

Here are a couple more baseball family heirlooms from the Bessette household. 1949 World Series Game 2 ticket, 1953 World Series Game 1 ticket, and 1977 World Series Game 6 ticket that some might recognize as being the "Re-gie" game.

Two of my uncles were at the game, and I don't know if it's a family urban legend or not, but Uncle Bob and Uncle Bill swear on their lives that they are the first two guys to jump up in the famous video clip when Reggie hits his third homer.

These are the kinds of stories that I could hear told over and over again and never get sick of.
