Default Christmas Gifts?

Merry Christmas to all of you. 2014 has been a great year for me. You all have been both educating and entertaining me all year. I am very pleased to be a member of this community. I hope everyone is having a great holiday season.

Did anyone receive any gifts of memorabilia to add to their collection? My wife surprised me by purchasing this photo for me. It is now one of my favorite shots in my original photo collection. I love pictures that tell a story. This one captures the on field pandemonium following Mazeroski’s Oct. 13, 1960 Game 7 walk-off homer. Every time I look at it I see something new. The contrast between Maz being joyously pummeled by well-wishers at home plate and Ralph Terry walking away head down in defeat is poignant. I think the way the crowd has parted for him is very classy. Casey Stengel’s last moments on a baseball field wearing a Yankee uniform are captured on the lower left. How did General Manager Joe L. Brown get to home plate so fast? He can be seen in the middle of the scrum wearing a garish checkered blazer and euphorically choking Maz. His father, comedian Joe E. Brown, was one of the first celebrity sports memorabilia collectors. Speaking of memorabilia collectors, I wonder what happened to the base the guy on the left is stealing, and what in the heck is the souvenir vendor with the pennants doing on the field? Why are all the police dressed in black ignoring the crowd spilling onto the field and running toward home plate? Why are some of the holding their night sticks? Maybe they were Yankee fans?
