The Mick was my boyhood idol. Saw him hit a homer over the center field fence at Comiskey Park which is still my biggest thrill. The 1961 season has great memories for me and I have collected a few things shown here.

Baseball's appeal isn't complicated or confusing. It's about the beauty of the game; it's about heroes and family and friends; it's about being part of something larger than yourself, about tradition---receiving it and passing it; and it's about holding on to a bit of your childhood.
